常見錯誤
- 1high涉及分數: 6Source utility, AS 1 Q2(a)
Evaluating source utility purely on content, without analysing date, author, mode, motive, audience, and tone together.
如何避免: Work through all six angles, date, author, mode, motive, audience, tone, and connect each one to what the source can and cannot tell a historian. - 2high涉及分數: 4Source utility, AS 1 Q2(a)
Naming only a source's strengths and never its limitations in a utility answer.
如何避免: State one clear limitation alongside the strengths. Level 4 is lost specifically for omitting the limitations, however good the strengths analysis is. - 3high涉及分數: 6Interpretations, AS 1 Q2(b)
Summarising Interpretation A and Interpretation B one after the other in AS 1 Question 2(b) without testing them against each other.
如何避免: Write a paragraph testing each interpretation against independent context, then a final paragraph that compares them directly and states which is more convincing. - 4high涉及分數: 6Extended essay, AS 2 Part (ii)
Writing a one-sided AS 2 essay that agrees unquestioningly with the proposition given, with no counter-argument.
如何避免: Build in the strongest available counter-argument before your conclusion. A response with no genuine alternative view cannot reach Level 4. - 5medium涉及分數: 4Interpretations, AS 1 Q2(b)
Dismissing a historian's interpretation as "biased" instead of assessing the validity of their evidence and argument.
如何避免: Judge the interpretation on its evidence and reasoning, not on the historian's presumed standpoint alone. - 6medium涉及分數: 5Time management
Spending disproportionate time on the 8-mark AS 2 Part (i) question at the expense of the 22-mark Part (ii) essay.
如何避免: Give Part (i) about 12 minutes and Part (ii) about 33 minutes. Move on once Part (i) has answered the question asked. - 7medium涉及分數: 3Extended essay, AS 2 Part (ii)
Making unsubstantiated claims in AS 2 essays without precise dates, legislation, or named individuals.
如何避免: Attach one specific piece of evidence, a date, an act, a named figure, to every analytical claim you make.
