Health and Social Care 0003 考试技巧

常见错误

1. 1high涉及分数: 6PIES development

   Writing about only two of the four PIES headings (physical, intellectual, emotional, social) in a 9-mark or 12-mark question.

   如何避免: List every heading the question names before you start writing, and give each heading its own paragraph so none gets skipped.
2. 2high涉及分数: 3Applying knowledge to scenarios

   Giving a general answer about healthy eating, stress or life changes that is never tied to the named character in the scenario.

   如何避免: Name the character and their circumstances in the first sentence of every answer, then build the point around them specifically.
3. 3high涉及分数: 1Structured short answers

   Naming a single point on a 2-mark structured sub-question without the second, explanatory point, for example naming an occupational hazard but not saying how it causes harm.

   如何避免: Treat every 2-mark line as a point plus a reason. If you have not written the reason, you have only earned half the marks available.
4. 4medium涉及分数: 1Life stages

   Getting the CCEA life stage boundaries wrong, for example writing childhood as 0 to 10 or early adulthood as 18 to 35.

   如何避免: Learn the four boundaries exactly: infancy 0 to 3, childhood 4 to 10, adolescence 11 to 18, early adulthood 19 to 39.
5. 5medium涉及分数: 2PIES definitions

   Confusing emotional development, feelings and self-esteem, with social development, relationships and peer interaction, and writing one under the other's heading.

   如何避免: Keep the two apart: emotional is what a person feels about themselves, social is how they interact with other people.
6. 6medium涉及分数: 3Impact of chronic illness

   Describing cystic fibrosis as only a breathing condition, missing its effects on digestion, the pancreas and fertility.

   如何避免: When a question names a specific condition, work through its effects system by system rather than defaulting to the most familiar symptom.
7. 7high涉及分数: 3Quality of written communication

   Writing the three Quality of Written Communication answers as disjointed bullet points with no specialist vocabulary.

   如何避免: Write QWC answers as full paragraphs: what is happening, why it matters for this person, what the effect is. Use the correct term, such as safeguarding or self-esteem, rather than an everyday substitute.
8. 8medium涉及分数: 3Self-concept

   Covering only the positive or only the negative side of a self-concept or life-change question instead of both.

   如何避免: Before you write, jot one column for positive effects and one for negative, and make sure both columns have at least one point.
