Covering only one side of a two-part essay stem, for example detailing the environmental impacts of food waste while barely mentioning the ethical issues the same question asks for.

Plan both required elements as two labelled sections before you write, and check your word count is roughly balanced between them once you have finished.

Writing a Section B essay on chemical or microbiological safety without naming a specific example, such as the mycotoxins patulin or ochratoxin A, or the additives aspartame or MSG.

Learn two or three named examples for each major topic in your option and use their proper names in your essay rather than describing the category alone.

Confusing the regulatory terms Maximum Residue Limit, Acceptable Daily Intake and Tolerable Daily Intake when discussing chemical safety limits.

Fix each term to what it actually limits: MRL is a residue level in a specific food, ADI is a daily intake judged safe over a lifetime, TDI is the equivalent for a contaminant rather than an intentional additive.

Giving a superficial, descriptive answer instead of an analytical one, for example stating that monocropping harms the environment without explaining how it causes soil erosion and nutrient depletion.

After every claim, add one sentence explaining the process that causes it, not just the fact that it happens.

Treating food allergy and food intolerance as the same thing, when an allergy is an immune-mediated response and an intolerance is not.

State the mechanism whenever the distinction matters: allergy involves the immune system reacting to a protein, intolerance does not.

Assuming Environmental Health Practitioners only carry out reactive restaurant inspections, missing their broader statutory duties in drinking water surveillance, food sampling and outbreak tracing.

Learn the full range of a named body's statutory duties, not just its most familiar role, before you use it as evidence in an essay.

Treating Section A part (b), worth 15 marks, as a set of brief notes rather than an extended, coherent piece of analysis.

Write Section A part (b) in full paragraphs with the same structure you would use for a Section B essay, since it carries almost as many marks as one.

Losing Level 4 marks through poor structure, repetitive points and a lack of precise, subject-specific terminology in the 20-mark essays.

Plan each essay in named paragraphs before you write, and use the correct technical term the first time a concept appears rather than an everyday substitute.

ข้อกำหนดเครื่องคิดเลข

Calculators are permitted for this paper. Most of the marks are in extended writing, but where a question gives you data to interpret, for example a table of food waste, contamination or cost figures, the standard JCQ rule still applies: no retrievable information stored in the calculator, including saved formulae, notes or programs. Clear your calculator's memory before the exam and switch on exam mode if it has one.

AO1: AO1: knowledge and understanding of the specified content (20%)
AO2: AO2: the ability to apply knowledge, understanding and skills in a variety of situations and to analyse problems, issues and situations using appropriate skills (50%)
AO3: AO3: the ability to gather, organise and select information, evaluate acquired knowledge and understanding, and present and justify an argument (30%)

Live percentage change calculation

วัตถุประสงค์: Get the percentage change between a before and after figure, such as food waste tonnage before and after an intervention, without a separate written formula.

ใช้เมื่อใด: For questions giving before-and-after figures and asking for a percentage change.

ขั้นตอน

When a question gives you before-and-after figures, such as food waste tonnage before and after an intervention, key the calculation as one sequence: new figure, minus, old figure, equals, divide, old figure, multiply, 100, equals. This gives you the percentage change directly without needing a separate written formula.

ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: Perform this live from the figures printed in the question. No formula, template or prior working may already be stored in the calculator when the exam begins, which is a JCQ rule that applies across all CCEA exams.

Live proportion calculation

วัตถุประสงค์: Get what proportion of a total a figure represents, such as the share of a population affected by food insecurity.

ใช้เมื่อใด: For questions asking what proportion or percentage of a total a given figure represents.

ขั้นตอน

To find what proportion of a total a figure represents, for example the share of a population affected by food insecurity, key the part, divide, the whole, multiply, 100, equals, as one continuous sequence rather than estimating.

ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: This is a live, on-the-spot calculation from data given in the exam. Nothing may be stored in the calculator's memory beforehand, including saved figures or formulae, under CCEA and JCQ rules.
