Where marks are really lost
Not usually on the hardest topic. Mostly on the same few habits, in every subject.
- 1
Not reading the command word
"Describe" and "explain" are marked differently. A perfect description scores nothing on an explain question.
- 2
Answers without working or units
Method marks reward the steps. A bare wrong number gets zero; the same number with clear working can still earn most of the marks.

Revising by re-reading
It feels like work but tests nothing. Questions marked against a mark scheme show you exactly what you can do.
