Get those evaluation marks

For A2 students, evaluation counts for between 30 and 35% of this summer’s exams; for AS students it’s 20–25%. In both cases it’s a skill that’s worth at least two grades. Ian Marcousé shows you how to get the marks

Learn the following six lessons to help you score all the evaluation marks in your exam.

In November, Tottenham Hotspur FC were at home to Liverpool. The Reds were much the better side for 80 minutes, but a couple of late goals gave Tottenham the three points. The managers were interviewed after the match. Roy Hodgson, for Liverpool, said that: ‘We were well worth one point or even three; it’s a crushing disappointment to lose so unluckily.’ Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp spoke of his players’ ‘never-say-die attitude’ and judged that they had ‘deserved all three points’. Both were perfectly understandable evaluations of the same game. Either would have received good marks from an A-level examiner, especially if a student had pointed out the perspective from which the judgement was drawn, i.e. the potential for unconscious bias on the part of the two managers.
