Edexcel: feedback from the exams

We share some key observations about student exam performance in summer 2018

There are always important lessons to be learned when students sit an exam, especially one that is relatively new. Some of these lessons are things that you may feel confident you’re already achieving. However, the feedback from examiners is that students are not doing what they think they are doing. Therefore you may find it helpful to read the following comments.

Some exam questions are on methodology. They ask you to write about lab experiments, observations, questionnaires etc. in relation to a topic/approach. If you select a study such as Bandura or Raine and describe the study but not the methodology you are not going to get that many marks, only some incidental ones if you mention something about methodology.
