常見錯誤

  1. 1high涉及分數: 4Paper 1 Analytical Essay Structure

    Answering only one side of Part (c) evaluation essays, which caps the potential score at a Level 3 maximum of 6 out of 10 marks.

    如何避免: Ensure every Part (c) essay covers both arguments (agree and disagree) before presenting a balanced, evaluative judgment in the conclusion.
  2. 2high涉及分數: 3Paper 2 Source Comparison

    Writing sequential, separate summaries of sources on Paper 2 comparison questions instead of direct, point-by-point comparative analysis.

    如何避免: Group sources by viewpoint and directly match 'like with like' to explicitly identify agreements and disagreements.
  3. 3medium涉及分數: 4Paper 2 Cartoon Interpretation

    Describing the surface-level visual details of cartoons in Paper 2 rather than interpreting their underlying political messages and creators' purpose.

    如何避免: Look beyond the drawings to identify the cartoonist's perspective, political stance, context, and immediate motive for publishing the piece.
  4. 4medium涉及分數: 8Chronological Parameters & Relevance

    Straying from stated chronological limits, such as describing 1930s Great Depression events in essays strictly focused on the 1920s US economy.

    如何避免: Strictly observe the date boundaries in the question prompt and outline only relevant context from that specific period during your 5-minute plan.
  5. 5high涉及分數: 5Paper 2 Hypothesis Testing

    Leaving out specific source letters, quotes, or attributions in the final synthesis question (Part e) of Paper 2, capping the maximum score.

    如何避免: Cite sources explicitly by writing 'Source A supports this because...' and categorize all documents into supporting and non-supporting camps.
