評価段階
ABCDEU
電卓の規定
A scientific or graphical calculator that meets JCQ regulations may be used (some GCSE Mathematics and Science papers are non-calculator). Graphical calculators must be set to exam mode; you must clear any stored programs, notes or data before the exam, and the calculator must not be able to retrieve stored text or formulae.
AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of places, environments, concepts, processes, interactions and change. (34%)
AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding in different contexts to analyse, evaluate and make judgements. (40%)
AO3: Use a variety of relevant quantitative, qualitative and fieldwork skills to investigate, analyse and evaluate. (26%)

電卓プログラム
Graph: zeros, intersections & turning points
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Plot a function to read its roots (zeros), points of intersection, and maxima/minima.
使う場面: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.
手順
Graph the function(s) and use the built-in zero, intersect and maximum/minimum tools.
試験での注意: Allowed under JCQ rules, but you must still show your method — an unsupported calculator answer earns no method marks. Clear all stored programs, notes and data (graphical calculators in exam mode) before the exam.
Numerical equation solver
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Solve an equation or find a variable numerically when an algebraic route is long or implicit.
使う場面: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.
手順
Use the equation/zero solver, entering the equation and a sensible starting estimate.
試験での注意: Allowed under JCQ rules, but you must still show your method — an unsupported calculator answer earns no method marks. Clear all stored programs, notes and data (graphical calculators in exam mode) before the exam.
Numerical integration & differentiation
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: Evaluate a definite integral \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\) or a gradient \(f'(x)\) at a point.
使う場面: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.
手順
Use the GDC's numeric integral / derivative function with the limits or the point.
試験での注意: Allowed under JCQ rules, but you must still show your method — an unsupported calculator answer earns no method marks. Clear all stored programs, notes and data (graphical calculators in exam mode) before the exam.
Statistics & probability distributions
Graphical calculator / GDC (exam mode)
目的: 1-var/2-var statistics, linear regression, and cumulative binomial / normal / Poisson probabilities without tables.
使う場面: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.
手順
Enter data in the statistics editor, or use the distribution menu (binomial cdf, normal cdf, …).
試験での注意: Allowed under JCQ rules, but you must still show your method — an unsupported calculator answer earns no method marks. Clear all stored programs, notes and data (graphical calculators in exam mode) before the exam.
よくあるミス
1high影響する配点: 4Globalisation
Lacking a dual-scope evaluation when discussing attempts to narrow the global development gap (failing to address changes both within and between countries).
回避方法: Structure your evaluation of development policies by explicitly analyzing both intra-national (within countries) and inter-national (between countries) income and social inequalities.
2high影響する配点: 6Regenerating Places
Writing highly generic local case study descriptions (e.g., referencing 'London' as a whole) without specific, localized ward data or named evidence.
回避方法: Use distinct, neighborhood-level case study markers (such as 'The Broadway, Southall' or 'Bargate in central Southampton') and cite specific data such as local IMD deciles or business percentages.
3high影響する配点: 2Tectonic Processes and Hazards
Failing to use explicit comparative vocabulary (such as 'whereas', 'whilst', or 'on the other hand') in direct comparison questions, which leads to immediate loss of marks.
回避方法: For any comparison question (e.g., Q1b(i)), write unified comparative statements using words like 'whereas' to explicitly link the data points of the two resources.
4medium影響する配点: 4Coastal Landscapes and Change
Conflating lithological characteristics (rock type, chemical composition) with geological structural factors (fault lines, joints, folding, dip angles) when explaining coastal landforms.
回避方法: Ensure structural explanations focus strictly on patterns of jointing, faulting, folding, concordant/discordant alignments, and dip angles rather than rock hardness.
5high影響する配点: 2Coastal Landscapes and Change
Losing calculation marks by only writing the final answer on mean calculations without showing working out stages.
回避方法: Always write out the complete formula and show each step of your working out clearly before writing your final, rounded answer.
6medium影響する配点: 4Glaciated Landscapes and Change
Listing ICT tools rather than critically assessing their specific usefulness in processing and presenting data in 9-mark fieldwork questions.
回避方法: Explain how specific functions of ICT (e.g., GIS spatial plotting of beach profiles or digital overlaying of pedestrian flows) actively helped analyze spatial relationships or test hypotheses.
7medium影響する配点: 2Coastal Landscapes and Change
Writing purely descriptive answers for 'Explain' questions (e.g. sediment cells or vegetation stabilisation) without outlining the actual physical processes.
回避方法: Break your response down into sequential steps using causal connective language (e.g., 'leads to', 'resulting in') to link the initial physical condition to the final landform.
