MORE WEBSITES FOR YOUR PERUSAL
ACTION WORDS FOUND IN QUESTIONS (VERY IMPORTANT)
1. Define (the term(s) ... ) is intended literally, only a formal statement or equivalent paraphrase being required.
2. What do you understand by/What is meant by (the term(s) ... ) normally implies that a definition should be given, together with some relevant comment on the significance or context of the term(s) concerned, especially where two or more terms are included in the question. The amount of supplementary comment intended should be interpreted in the light of the indicated mark value. 3. State implies a concise answer with little or no supporting argument, e.g. a numerical answer that can readily be obtained 'by inspection'. 4. List requires a number of points, generally each of one word, with no elaboration. Where a given number of points is specified, this should not be exceeded. 5. (a) Explain may imply reasoning or some reference to theory, depending on the context. It is another way of asking candidates to give reasons for. The candidate needs to leave the examiner in no doubt why something happens. (b) Give a reason/Give reasons is another way of asking candidates to explain why something happens. 6. (a) Describe, the data or information given in a graph, table or diagram, requires the candidate to state the key points that can be seen in the stimulus material. Where possible, reference should be made to numbers drawn from the stimulus material. (b) Describe, a process, requires the candidate to give a step by step written statement of what happens during the process. Describe and explain may be coupled, as may state and explain. 7. Discuss requires the candidate to give a critical account of the points involved in the topic. 8. Outline implies brevity, i.e. restricting the answer to giving essentials. 9. Predict implies that the candidate is not expected to produce the required answer by recall but by making a logical connection between other pieces of information. Such information may be wholly given in the question or may depend on answers extracted in an earlier part of the question. Predict also implies a concise answer, with no supporting statement required. 10. Deduce is used in a similar way to predict except that some supporting statement is required, e.g. reference to a law or principle, or the necessary reasoning is to be included in the answer. 11.(a) Suggest is used in two main contexts, i.e. either to imply that there is no unique answer (e.g.in Biology, there are a variety of factors that might limit the rate of photosynthesis in a plant in a glasshouse), (b) Suggest may also be used to imply that candidates are expected to apply their general knowledge and understanding of biology to a 'novel' situation, one that may be formally 'not in the syllabus' many data response and problem solving questions are of this type. 12. Find is a general term that may variously be interpreted as calculate, measure, determine, etc. 13. Calculate is used when a numerical answer is required. In general, working should be shown, especially where two or more steps are involved. 14. Measure implies that the quantity concerned can be directly obtained from a suitable measuring instrument, e.g. length, using a rule, or mass, using a balance. 15. Determine often implies that the quantity concerned cannot be measured directly but is obtained by calculation, substituting measured or known values of other quantities into a standard formula, e.g. relative molecular mass. 16. Estimate implies a reasoned order of magnitude statement or calculation of the quantity concerned, making such simplifying assumptions as may be necessary about points of principle and about the values of quantities not otherwise included in the question. 17. Sketch, when applied to graph work, implies that the shape and/or position of the curve need only be qualitatively correct, but candidates should be aware that, depending on the context, some quantitative aspects may be looked for, e.g. passing through the origin, having an intercept, asymptote or discontinuity at a particular value. In diagrams, sketch implies that a simple, freehand drawing is acceptable; nevertheless, care should be taken over proportions and the clear exposition of important details. In all questions, the number of marks allocated are shown on the examination paper, and should be used as a guide by candidates to how much detail to give. In describing a process the mark allocation should guide the candidate about how many steps to include. In explaining why something happens, it guides the candidate how many reasons to give, or how much detail to give for each reason.

ADVICE ABOUT DRAWING SPECIMENS AND GRAPHS IN BIOLOGY HERE'S MY ADVICE ABOUT DRAWING DIAGRAMS.
TIPS ABOUT GRAPH DRAWING Students should put the independent variable on the x axis and the dependent variable on the y axis.
On a line graph, in Biology we sometimes need to draw a straight line between points, using a ruler. We do this when we aren't sure that the line is likely to be straight or a particular kind of curve.
