tips for higher chemistry and physics assignment??

thank you so much!! you dont know how much i appreciate this, i feel completely clueless for my writeup

I think reading the specification for the assignments for teachers is also a good way to understand how marking works :>
It may look a bit overwhelming at first but just focus on the marking and see how a teacher would mark it, it basically shows where the marks actually come from.
Also, ensure you actually remember enough of your underlying physics/chemistry because trying to remember a boatload will lead to weird gaps in the paragraphs :/
ALWAYS evaluate the usefulness of the source, it’s probably the easiest mark to get (other than the structure and stuff, don’t know how people would lose marks on that) and I think just mentioning who made it and why it matters is quite simple
Make sure your conclusion and aim do actually match up, there’s no point in saying “to investigate the constant k in…” just to say something completely different in the conclusions
Also, I’d recommend making a draft on either Microsoft Word or on paper as it gives an idea of how much there actually is and which parts you can add to + cut down, make sure that this draft is structured well so it is not just a mess of random headings
The most important is… DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING!!! Especially with the data tables and their headings as sometimes you could just write the wrong unit and a mark just went poof
I think these “tips” are definitely apply a lot more to both national 5 and higher instead of just higher. In general, DON’T PANIC, you are given quite some time to work on it and I’d especially recommend doing some stuff at home to avoid having to do everything at once in school :P

whoa thank you so much!! these tips are so so appreciated <3
i was making a draft literally yesterday and looked at the teachers marking guide, imo its way more helpful than the one for candidates so i understood that way more as well
i literally had no clue what to do for evaluation, and the literary source part did have me tripping at first
thanks again!!!

im doing my assignments rn and was wondering whether the jump from nat5 to higher is bigger than what is usually implied. whats the best tip that teachers usually don’t tell for science assignments??
