Top Exam Board Tips
- For the research report, start by carefully analysing the assignment brief to identify key command words (e.g., 'evaluate', 'analyse') and ensure your response consistently addresses them.
- In presentations, practise with peers to receive feedback on clarity and timing; record yourself to self-correct non-verbal cues like eye contact and posture.
- Use the CTH referencing guide as a checklist before submission to avoid inadvertent plagiarism and lost marks on academic integrity.
- When carrying out research, create an annotated bibliography early on to summarise how each source will contribute to your arguments, saving time during the write-up.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Students often confuse informal spoken language with academic spoken language, resulting in presentations that lack professional terminology and overly casual delivery.
- A common error in written work is failing to answer the assignment brief directly, instead providing tangential information without linking back to the task.
- Many learners struggle with paraphrasing and inadvertently commit plagiarism by retaining the original sentence structure of sources.
- In presentations, reading directly from notes or slides is frequent, which undermines engagement and demonstration of true understanding.
