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 scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures (35%)
AO2: Apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures (35%)
AO3: Analyse, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence (30%)
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: 3Planning and conducting research
Failing to explicitly link the proposed self-report or laboratory research design in Paper 1 Q17 to personal classroom practical activities.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Incorporate explicit references to your own practical logbook experience for each required design decision, detailing how your classroom experiences informed your choice.
2mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 6Areas, perspectives and debates
Providing a one-sided argument in Paper 2 debate essays (such as discussing only the negative impacts of socially sensitive research).
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Ensure balanced coverage by providing at least three distinct points of comparison or evaluation covering both strengths/similarities and weaknesses/differences.
3highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 2Data recording, analysis and presentation
Ranking raw scores directly instead of calculating differences and ranking the absolute differences when computing a Wilcoxon T-value.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Calculate the difference (Condition A - Condition B) for each participant first, discard zero differences, and then assign ranks from lowest to highest based on the absolute differences (ignoring the signs).
4highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 2Data recording, analysis and presentation
Drawing a bar chart that is missing critical elements of contextualisation (e.g., omitting 'mean' in the title or failing to label axes with precise variables like motorists or cuteness scale units).
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Write a descriptive, contextualised title specifying it displays the 'mean' values, and completely label both the x-axis and the y-axis including scale ranges (e.g. 1-20).
5mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 3Research methods and techniques
Formulating alternative hypotheses that fail to fully operationalise both the Independent Variable (IV) and Dependent Variable (DV), or failing to include both levels of the IV in a null hypothesis.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Explicitly state both conditions of the IV and operationalise the DV numerically (e.g. 'ratings of cuteness on a scale of 1-20' or 'listening to prosocial lyrics vs. neutral music').
6highคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 2Core Studies
Providing generic, dictionary-style textbook definitions of terms (such as reliability, controls, or reductionism) without applying them to the specific context of the core studies.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Always tie the definition of the methodological term directly to specific examples from the studies (e.g. linking standardisation in Bandura to the exact size of the Bobo doll or standard timing).
7mediumคะแนนที่เกี่ยวข้อง: 8Practical activities
Evaluating practical suggestions in Paper 2, Section C without explicitly identifying and referencing relevant psychological issues and debates.
วิธีหลีกเลี่ยง: Clearly name and structure your evaluation around OCR AS Level debates like Nature/Nurture, Freewill/Determinism, or Usefulness, rather than writing generic feedback.
