Core concepts
Concept 1
Part A is worth 6 marks for describing two research methods, with a maximum of 4 marks for either one.
Exam cue: Select two processed results that make the main findings easy to reference.
Concept 2
Part B is worth 14 marks for describing and explaining findings with reference to Processed Information and reaching a well-supported conclusion.
Exam cue: Use evidence selectively, then explain or analyse what it means instead of copying it.
Concept 3
Processed Information is limited to two single-sided A4 pages or one single-sided A3 page, must not be a draft or coded draft, and must be submitted with the report.
Exam cue: Link every concluding judgement to findings and the original question or issue.
