Not really, just practice as much as you can and look at the mark schemes for guidance. The 10 marker is normally always on validity and reliability so make sure you talk about the different types.

I don't really like to predict what can come up so not really, although I am pretty sure the studies which came up in January probably will not come up again for section B.
