Mark schemes and unit tests

Brazil nuts contain lipids.

That’s another unit test over. You’ve taken it, we’ve marked it and you have had your results. Most of you will be fine, a few candidates will have done better than expected and, unfortunately, some will not have achieved the grades they had hoped for.

All the unit tests I have been involved with have produced a few surprises. As I look through the answers I find something that candidates really shouldn’t be doing. It is probably nothing new but it has become apparent in the particular test that I have just been marking. It makes me feel that I would like to stand behind candidates and say ‘Careful!’ Obviously I cannot do this so I am going to do the next best thing. I am going to use this Upgrade column to write about one thing that needs particular attention.
