Sometimes it is the smallest of things that loses you a mark in a unit test. I have just finished looking through a pile of scripts sent to me for re-marking. The reason why a mark had not been awarded was often down to a single word that had been used incorrectly or had been misunderstood. That word meant a lower mark and, often, a lower grade.
So here is an idea for you. In this column you will find a list of words that were not used correctly in the June 2009 examinations. If you read an entry a day, and make sure that you understand the point being made, you will have an excellent chance of improving your result in the next unit test by at least a grade. Why not try it? It will only take you a couple of minutes a day.
