For STEM 16 markers, how many A03 points do you need?

There may be one 16 marker in each Paper with a Stem scenario attached to it.

You'll have to refer to the STEM scenario for any A02 marks.

The marks for this specific kind of 16 marker is:
AO1: 6
AO2: 4
AO3: 6
Therefore how many A03 points do you need to get those 6 marks?

Make some brief summary notes and use them to build your entire coursework essay up. Try referring back to the original question at all times in order to ensure that you produce a good quality piece of work here. And also reference all your internet research sources correctly as well at the bottom or top of your piece of work. You must even include your full name. Use your class notes. Consider this strategy- point evidence and describe.

To be safe I’d think of each A03 points as 2 marks, so you’d need 3. However it depends on how developed your points are (e.g. if you think them back to the question/ if you evaluate the A03 point itself).
Often examiners won’t award A03 marks for generic points (e.g. a weakness of this is that it’s a lab study so it has poor ecological validity) so watch out for those too. Generic points are useful to supplement your A03 points or if you really can’t remember any A03, as if you develop them correctly (e.g. if the study lacks validity then the findings are less useful and the theory itself lacks basis) you will receive marks.
