TL;DR
I am looking for a marked student sample of a past Euclid Contest paper.
I am looking for more details on how the Euclid contest is actually marked. I search for and failed to find a student sample that was officially marked, to see if I can get an idea of how strict they are with including justification and presentation of your work, especially for "full solution" questions. If someone has a sample, that was be immensely helpful. Or can someone help me to gain a better understanding on how the much clarity does one need to include to gain full marks on a question. Thank you in advanced.



The rules on the exam paper for short answer and full solution questions are below.


1. SHORT ANSWER parts indicated by

worth 3 marks each

full marks given for a correct answer which is placed in the box

part marks awarded only if relevant work is shown in the space provided

2. FULL SOLUTION parts indicated by

worth the remainder of the 10 marks for the question

must be written in the appropriate location in the answer booklet

marks awarded for completeness, clarity, and style of presentation

a correct solution poorly presented will not earn full marks
