Higher Modern Studies 2012-13: Discussion and Help Thread

I think that me and you are the only one who think this. I didn't like it either.

I think you fail if you don't use all the sources...sorry .

I really found it hard to find arguments!

i thought it was only if you didn't include BK you failed?

Same here...at least, I don't ever have to touch my notes again.

And sources I am sure. I was told this by my MS teacher. Maybe someone else here can confirm it.

Usually on marking scheme it says in bold that: ALL sources must be used- even saying this on the exam papers. So it must be pretty significant .

Some people are saying they think they got 3/3 in paper 2...what does that mean?

Damn I really hope that isn't the case I just completely forgot to put it in.

3 arguments on each side

okay, thanks. What arguments did you put?

Maybe go and ask your teacher? Hopefully she can clarify that matter for you. I hope that you are not penalized too harshly for that if the rest of your DME is good.

Do you lose marks for accidentally writing wrong statistics?

Same, this girl finished twenty minutes early and I was like wtf? How is that possible?! I finished my conclusion just 1 minute before the time was up, so I just made it.

Yes I found arguments difficult to look for, combined with a lack of sleep and BK on smoking that was not too good for me. I think I passed the DME though, the few arguments that I had were well backed up. Did you do against or for?

Hehe...I may have been guilty of that on a few occasions. I am not sure but if your statistics are WAY off then you would receive no credit. They mark positively in exams, you cannot lose marks but only gain them if that makes sense.
