Reciting learned/textbook content instead of applying knowledge to the specific question or resource
“Students who recited learned material irrespective of the question set, were likely to score low marks on questions which tested AO2.”— 7037/1 Report on the Examination, June 2022
How to fix: Treat every 6-, 9- and 20-mark question as a bespoke task. Read the stem twice, underline the command word and the exact focus, then build each paragraph around that focus, not around what you revised. Use case study material as evidence for the argument the question demands — never as a pre-packaged paragraph dropped in regardless of wording.
