Course reports
It is always useful to read the course reports from the SQA website. These documents are designed to:
- Acknowledge where candidates gained the most marks from the exam.
- Address areas where candidates did not gain the most marks from the exam.
For example, from the 2018 paper candidates struggled with:
- Selecting information from a line graph.
- Selecting information from a line graph with two vertical axes.
- Identifying features of an investigation that would affect the accuracy of results.
- Identifying features of a trial that would affect the reliability of results.
