Common Mistakes by Students

1. Strategy to Answering Paper 1
This section consists of all the topics from form 4 and 5.
Read the question first and then study all the choices before choosing the answer.
Circle/underline words like all, none, always, never, only, not and except to avoid careless mistakes.
If the answer is not apparent, use the elimination process. Cross out all choices which are clearly incorrect, then choose your answer from the remaining choices.
Answer every question. You stand a chance of scoring some marks than just leaving it blank.
Check your answer sheet. Make sure you have filled in only one answer for every question.
Make sure to fill in the correct answer corresponding to the question.
If you change an answer, make sure to erase the first answer completely.
2. Strategy to Answering Paper 2
Structured Item
This section consists of all the topics from form 4 and 5.
Make sure you have studied consistently and revised all topics learnt. Try to do as many past years’ questions as possible.
Answer all five structured questions carefully.
Allocate your answering time wisely. The suggested amount of time for each question is 15 minutes.
Plan your points and answers carefully to gain maximum marks. The number of lines or marks will indicate the length of your answer.
Be sure to give correct facts and answers. Each correct fact or answer carries 1 mark. No half mark will be given.
Write clearly. If the examiners cannot read what you have written, they cannot give you marks. Inaccurate spelling which does not carry other meaning is accepted.
Show your working and use the correct units for questions with calculations. Even if your answer is wrong, you will still get some marks for the working.
Spell out chemical substances in word form if required. Formula is not accepted.

Example: Name the chemical that can absorb carbon dioxide.
Answer: ‘Sodium hydroxide’, not ‘NAOH’.

x) Give chemical equation in sentence form.
All substrate and product must be correct.
Certain conditions must be given if needed.

Chemical equation, if given in formula must be complete and balanced.

Essay Item
Spend at least 5 minutes to read the instructions and every question carefully and scan through the entire paper. Pay attention to how many questions to answer and the time given.
Allocate your answering time wisely. Suggested time for each essay question is 25 minutes. Leave 5-10 minutes at the end for checking.
Write neatly and clearly.
Use labeled diagrams where appropriate to help you answer your essay, but no extra marks will be given.
Use a table if the question requires you to compare and contrast or list the advantages of two processes, but answers must be in full sentences and not in point form.
Plan your points and answers carefully to gain maximum marks. The number of lines or marks will indicate the length of your answer.

QUESTION WORDS POINTS TO REMEMBER
WHAT · Give specific/exact information
STATE · Give a concise, straightforward answer with no elaboration
HOW/WHY · Give explanations regarding methods/ways/conditions/steps/events
COMPARE AND CONTRAST · Give similarities and differences between two or more concepts
DIFFERENCE · Give the differences between two or more concepts/factors

3. Strategy to Answering Paper 3
This paper consists of two compulsory questions:

Question 1 – Structured item about Scientific Process (33 marks)

Predicting
Communicating
Using spatial time relationship
Analysing data
Defining according operation
Controlling variables
Forming a hypothesis
(Max = 3marks each)
Total = 33 marks

Problem statement (3marks)
Aim of investigation
Hypothesis (3marks)
Variables
List of apparatus and materials (3marks)
Technique used (1mark)
Experimental procedure or method (3marks)
Presentation of data (1mark)
Conclusion
Format = 3 marks
Total = 17 marks

Common Mistakes by Students
Not following the marks guide. The number of lines or marks will indicate the length of your answer.
Insufficient points and haphazard answers.
Wrong facts/concepts and out of the point answers.
Hanging answers, mixed up, uncertain, too general, too brief, too long, too complicated.
Keep on repeating the answers.
Answers not balance/inconsistent.
Not aware of questions intent when answering.
Forget to rewrite answers after erasing previous answers.
Pleading with the examiner and writing short messages/notes to examiner.
Scolding or instructing the examiner.

TIPS TO ANSWER BIOLOGI PAPER 2 & 3

-Pay attention to spelling. Inaccurate spelling will be marked as wrong.

-Acronyms are allowed. For instance DNA, ATP , RNA

-Use scientific terms as much as possible. General terms like ‘carries’, ‘give’, ‘attracted’ should be avoided.

-Use scientific sentences.

-Wrong cancels right rule.

-Don’t repeat the same answer twice.

-Explain means you should give reason.

-Corresponding questions; Please give facts, explain the facts, and the consequence.
E.g:
A women who is a heavy smoker becomes pregnant. Explain why she should stop smoking

-Sequence questions
Must have sequence. Jumping sequence, no marks.
For comparison, use tables with complete sentences. No point form is allowed.

-Do not answer using point form for essays. Use complete sentences. No marks for point form.

-always draw a table if needed, do not be dependent on your examination paper lines.

-always ensure you put down units if required.

-label the axis of your graphs in full. Don’t just put “height” or “measurement”. it is WRONG and UNCLEAR!

-graphs must have SMOOTH CURVES

-always write more. Do not write less, especially for section B of paper 2. However, avoid silly mistakes.
