よくあるミス

1. 1high影響する配点: 4Scenario Application (AO2)

   Failing to link theoretical concepts to the provided prompt scenario (e.g., describing the WMM phonological loop without referencing 'the map' for Darius or 'music' for Ashvi).

   回避方法: Ensure that every theoretical detail you write is explicitly tied back to the characters, actions, or specific stimulus words mentioned in the question prompt.
2. 2high影響する配点: 1Mathematical Calculations

   Losing track of decimal places or rounding conventions specified in statistical calculations (e.g., reporting 0.88 instead of 0.875, or standard deviation to three places instead of two).

   回避方法: Underline the requested decimal precision in the question prompt. Show all unrounded working out first, then write the final rounded answer as instructed.
3. 3high影響する配点: 8Essay Structure

   Providing simple lists or descriptions when evaluation (AO3) is requested (e.g., in the 12 and 16-mark essays, presenting purely descriptive content with limited comparative evaluation).

   回避方法: Maintain a strict 1:1 balance in essays. For every description paragraph (AO1), pair it with a comprehensive, evidence-supported evaluation paragraph (AO3).
4. 4medium影響する配点: 2Formulating Hypotheses

   Failing to fully operationalise research hypotheses, often generalising age groups or target behaviours rather than copying precise details from the scenario.

   回避方法: Ensure your hypothesis clearly names both variables with precise, measurable conditions (e.g., referencing 'drivers under 30' and 'over 50' and 'whether they parked where directed by a traffic officer or not').
5. 5medium影響する配点: 2Quantitative Analysis

   Dropping marks on basic ratio simplifications or leaving out calculation steps when completing statistics tables like Spearman's Rank or Standard Deviation.

   回避方法: Write down every step of the working. For ratios, find the greatest common divisor to express the ratio in its lowest simplified integer form (e.g., write 4:1 instead of 44:11).
6. 6medium影響する配点: 2Methodological Evaluation

   Relying on generic evaluation clichés for classic and contemporary studies instead of commenting on specific methodological flaws unique to those designs.

   回避方法: Focus on specific features like unique sample types (e.g., brain-damaged groups in Schmolck) or precise procedural constraints instead of writing broad phrases like 'lacks ecological validity'.
7. 7high影響する配点: 6Synoptic Application

   In synoptic essays, writing separate, disjointed paragraphs about different perspectives (e.g., genes vs. Freud) instead of integrating them structurally around the scenario client (e.g., Benjamin).

   回避方法: Use comparative paragraph structures where you directly contrast how different theories (e.g., biological brain functioning vs. psychoanalytic development) explain the same specific behavior of the character.
