March PPE: learner response tasks

Your March PPE result will hopefully show progress from January in your response to MEST1 Section A.

The most important aspect of any mock exam is making mistakes and learning from them. You need to closely analyse your performance across each question and identify specific ways you will improve for the full MEST1 mock exam after Easter and the real thing in May. Complete the following learner response tasks:

1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).

2) Read through the mark scheme. Pay particular attention to pages 5-8 that has anticipated content for each of the questions in Section A. How many of these potential points did you make? Did you successfully answer the questions?

3) Which was your strongest question? Why did you do better in that particular question?

4) Which was your weakest question? Again, try and identify why this happened. Did you misinterpret the question? Did you run out of time?

4) Read the Examiner's Report in full. For each question in Section A, would you classify your response as one of the more successful or less successful responses the Chief Examiner discusses? Why? What could you do differently next time? Write a reflection for EACH question in the paper.

5) Choose your weakest question in Section A and re-write an answer in full based on the suggested content from the Mark Scheme and Examiner's Report. The original clip from the exam is here

Your blog answer needs to be comprehensive and meet the criteria for Level 4 of the mark scheme. This will be an absolute minimum of three well-developed paragraphs (and may be more) with specific reference to elements of the clip.

Complete this during the lesson you are given your paper back before continuing your independent Section B case study.
