Examination questions at AS are frequently divided into sub-parts. In the example reviewed here, the question is divided into four parts. These follow an ‘incline of difficulty’. Part (a) (i) is a relatively straightforward question worth 4 marks whereas part (c) is an extended writing question worth 15 marks.
Parts (a) and (c) have a data-stimulus component. Candidates are asked to use Figures 1 and 2 to help form their answers. When answering part (b) candidates are more ‘on their own’ as the question does not make reference to a figure.
