ข้อกำหนดเครื่องคิดเลข
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%)
วัตถุประสงค์: Plot a function to read its roots (zeros), points of intersection, and maxima/minima.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Checking solutions, sketching, or solving where an analytic method is hard.
ขั้นตอน
Graph the function(s) and use the built-in zero, intersect and maximum/minimum tools.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: 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)
วัตถุประสงค์: Solve an equation or find a variable numerically when an algebraic route is long or implicit.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Iterative or implicit equations, or to confirm an algebraic solution.
ขั้นตอน
Use the equation/zero solver, entering the equation and a sensible starting estimate.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: 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)
วัตถุประสงค์: Evaluate a definite integral \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\) or a gradient \(f'(x)\) at a point.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Checking calculus answers, or where only a numerical value is needed.
ขั้นตอน
Use the GDC's numeric integral / derivative function with the limits or the point.
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: 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)
วัตถุประสงค์: 1-var/2-var statistics, linear regression, and cumulative binomial / normal / Poisson probabilities without tables.
ใช้เมื่อใด: Statistics questions and hypothesis tests.
ขั้นตอน
Enter data in the statistics editor, or use the distribution menu (binomial cdf, normal cdf, …).
ข้อควรระวังในการสอบ: 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.
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย
1highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 4Globalisation
Lacking a dual-scope evaluation when discussing attempts to narrow the global development gap (failing to address changes both within and between countries).
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Structure your evaluation of development policies by explicitly analyzing both intra-national (within countries) and inter-national (between countries) income and social inequalities.
2highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 6Regenerating Places
Writing highly generic local case study descriptions (e.g., referencing 'London' as a whole) without specific, localized ward data or named evidence.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: 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.
3highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 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.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: 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.
4mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 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.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Ensure structural explanations focus strictly on patterns of jointing, faulting, folding, concordant/discordant alignments, and dip angles rather than rock hardness.
5highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 2Coastal Landscapes and Change
Losing calculation marks by only writing the final answer on mean calculations without showing working out stages.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always write out the complete formula and show each step of your working out clearly before writing your final, rounded answer.
6mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 4Glaciated Landscapes and Change
Listing ICT tools rather than critically assessing their specific usefulness in processing and presenting data in 9-mark fieldwork questions.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: 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.
7mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 2Coastal Landscapes and Change
Writing purely descriptive answers for 'Explain' questions (e.g. sediment cells or vegetation stabilisation) without outlining the actual physical processes.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: 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.
