From the examiners report... about case studies.

This is a quote from the Examiners Report for the 2006 June Exam for paper 3H (Paper 1, Higher tier): "
The examiner states "A typical C candidate would be expected to write several level two responses for Q1(d), Q2(c), Q4(b)(iii) and Q4(d) but it was my experience that this was not often the case. Many of the answers are very general without any specific case study material andhave remained at level one even when their theory has been good." The examiner goes on to write "Similarly the typical A candidate would be expected to write several level three responses but this is not always the case."

I have been careful to teach & highlight the case studies required in the specification. Make sure that you recognise the opportunities to use this knowledge & understanding. You will have seen this school based GCSE site during lessons. If you click here it will take you to their revision site, which is great (wish I could do this-but at least I found it!). This will remind you again where the case studies are & give you some additional material to help you review your learning.
