15 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 20 quick multi-choice questions — every question on the site for this standard, grouped by the 5 pages of notes they come from.
Write a full answer before you reveal the model one — that comparison is where the marks come from. Every block links back to the notes that teach it.
Describe the research process AS91434 requires, and what makes a good focusing question.
Explain in depth why the standard insists that focusing questions result from preliminary research rather than preceding it.
Comprehensively analyse what "evaluating the research process" requires at Excellence, and why students find it harder to write than the research itself.
Describe what an annotation must do in AS91434, and give the form of a good one.
Explain in depth why the annotations, rather than the findings, are where Merit is awarded in this standard.
Comprehensively analyse what "initiative" means at Excellence in this standard, and why it cannot be demonstrated by working harder on accessible sources.
Describe what AS91434 counts as sources and as primary evidence, and what source details must be recorded.
Explain in depth why an interview is one of the most efficient sources a student can obtain for this standard.
Comprehensively analyse why a folder can meet the standard's primary/secondary balance and still rest on a badly skewed evidence base.
Describe what AS91434 requires when organising evidence and evaluating the research process.
Explain in depth why a research log is the highest-value habit in this standard, when it produces no evidence about the topic at all.
Comprehensively analyse why the standard asks students to argue against their own findings, and whether that requirement is coherent.
Describe the sequence of a complete AS91434 project, from first reading to final evaluation.
Explain in depth why a mismatch between sources is the best possible target for a focusing question.
Comprehensively analyse what it means that the sources could establish who was remembered as objecting but not who objected, and why that is a finding rather than a failure.
