Home Economics: Child Development 3330 考试技巧

常见错误

1. 1high涉及分数: 1Pregnancy

   Using a vague, everyday word instead of the exact medical or developmental term the mark scheme wants, for example writing 'sickness' rather than 'nausea' or 'morning sickness', or 'baby dies' rather than 'spontaneous loss before 24 weeks'.

   如何避免: Build a working list of the specific terms for pregnancy signs, symptoms and outcomes as you revise, and practise writing the named term rather than a description that circles around it.
2. 2high涉及分数: 4Feeding the newborn baby

   Writing a one-sided answer to a 6 or 9-mark evaluate or discuss question, covering only advantages or only disadvantages, which is capped at Level 2, roughly half the available marks.

   如何避免: Plan a point for and a point against before you start writing, and finish with a short sentence that states a judgement rather than only listing points.
3. 3medium涉及分数: 2Child health and education

   Confusing the roles of a midwife, health visitor, GP and paediatrician when a question names a specific professional in a scenario.

   如何避免: Fix each role to one job: midwife covers pregnancy and birth, health visitor supports the family after birth in the community, GP is the family's general doctor, paediatrician is a hospital specialist for children.
4. 4medium涉及分数: 1Reproduction

   Leaving out the specific biological site or mechanism in an answer, such as not naming the fallopian tube as the site of fertilisation, or describing the placenta's function too generally.

   如何避免: Learn the specific location or mechanism as a fixed fact for each process and state it by name, since the mark scheme often awards the mark only for that named detail.
5. 5medium涉及分数: 1The newborn baby

   Describing a newborn reflex in everyday terms, such as writing 'grabbing' or 'sucking thumb', instead of the named reflex, 'grasp reflex' or 'sucking reflex'.

   如何避免: Learn the newborn reflexes by their proper names and use those names directly, rather than describing what the baby appears to be doing.
6. 6medium涉及分数: 4Child health and education

   Answering only one half of a two-part prompt, for example discussing the parents' role in school readiness but leaving out the school's role, or covering food preparation but not cooking safety.

   如何避免: Read the question for how many distinct parts it asks for, and give each part its own clearly separated answer before moving on.
7. 7medium涉及分数: 1The newborn baby

   Giving an incomplete name for a standard or safety mark, such as writing 'kite' instead of 'Kitemark' or 'BSI Kitemark'.

   如何避免: Write the full, correct name of any standard or safety mark exactly as it appears on your revision notes, not a shortened or informal version.
8. 8medium涉及分数: 2Child health and education

   Giving a generic symptom in a clinical question, such as writing 'crying' or 'sickness' for meningitis instead of a specific named sign like a high-pitched cry or a non-blanching rash.

   如何避免: Revise the named clinical signs for each condition on the specification and quote them specifically, rather than a general description of a baby seeming unwell.
