There is no question-by-question table for this paper, and nothing is missing: Writing and Speaking are not marked against an answer key at all. They are scored on four published criteria — the same four the examiner uses — so what is worth knowing beforehand is the shape of the tasks, which IELTS publishes and which is the same in every book.
