- A significant portion of marks was allocated to completing trace tables. The mark scheme was strict regarding the exact value at each step, particularly regarding loop counters and accumulator variables.
- Marking Note: "Condone" errors were often limited; if the initial value was missing, subsequent marks were usually lost.
- Highlight common mistakes students make (e.g., confusing "operational" with "organizational" objectives).
- Clarify ambiguous questions (e.g., specifying that "SWOT analysis" should focus on the question context).
I should also mention the importance of understanding command words in exam questions, as these guide what the marker expects. For example, "evaluate" versus "compare and contrast" versus "discuss" can lead to different answer structures and thus different marking approaches. 7707-s21-ms-21.pdf
