常見錯誤
- 1high涉及分數: 15Source Comparison
Writing sequential, isolated summaries of Source A and Source B in Paper 1 Part (a) instead of running a synthesized parallel contrast.
如何避免: Structure your answer from the start around key comparative parameters. Use direct comparative language and explicitly explain the differences by evaluating their contrasting provenance or contexts. - 2high涉及分數: 40Extract Interpretation
Treating the Paper 3 interpretations extract as a standard comprehension exercise or writing a general historical essay on the topic rather than identifying the historian's central thesis.
如何避免: Focus explicitly on identifying the overall school of thought or approach in your introduction, and trace how the extract's specific arguments and sub-messages systematically build toward that thesis. - 3medium涉及分數: 30Chronological Discipline
Chronological slippage, such as introducing events outside the explicitly set years of the essay prompt (e.g., using 1930s examples to discuss a 1920s prompt).
如何避免: Highlight the date parameters in the prompt during your planning phase. Keep a strict timeline checklist in your mind to avoid using irrelevant material that won't earn credit. - 4high涉及分數: 25Source Evaluation
Deploying generic, rote evaluation in source analysis (e.g., dismissing a source as simply 'biased' or 'unreliable' because it is a speech or letter) without checking if the specific claims are supported by context.
如何避免: Evaluate the source's provenance, purpose, and audience in direct relation to the specific question asked. Use your contextual knowledge to explain how the author's background shapes their perspective and utility. - 5high涉及分數: 30Thematic Essay Writing
Producing purely narrative, chronological accounts in Paper 2 and Paper 4 essays rather than structuring the response around explicit assessment criteria.
如何避免: Establish clear, measurable criteria in your introduction (e.g. defining what 'success' or 'effectiveness' means for a specific policy) and structure body paragraphs strictly around analytical factors rather than a timeline.
