If a paired commentary or subject report is available, compare it with the original work instead of assuming a polished essay received a particular mark. Historical examples may belong to an earlier assessment framework.

Candidates who do not receive formal education in psychology need considerable guidance in many aspects of their essay writing. Candidates and supervisors should be aware of problems that are likely to occur in these circumstances and plan accordingly. Some of the work submitted tended to be mediocre when assessed under the various criteria for extended essays. In contrast there were several examples where candidates rose to the c hallenge that they had set themselves and produced essays of a remarkable high quality. The better essays incorporated an argument where the question was amenable to debate. It was not always necessary or even possible to resolve questions that have exerci sed psychological thinking for many years, but the candidate’s own thinking and own interpretation does need to shine through in order to obtain high marks.
