Examiner Insights — Paper 1: Core Paper

Based on analysis of 1 official Cambridge documents (2023)

1

Generic or vague answers not credited — specificity required

Many responses were generic and not specific enough to be creditworthy0471 Paper 1, June 2023

How to fix: Always qualify your answers with specific detail. Instead of 'pollution', write 'air pollution from increased aircraft emissions'. Instead of 'damage to the environment', specify 'coral reef damage from tourist boats anchoring'. The examiner needs to see you understand the specific mechanism, not just the broad category.

2

Long descriptions in part (e) instead of analysis and evaluation

Some candidates gave long descriptions and examples which used up answer space and did not offer analytical development0471 Paper 1, June 2023

How to fix: Part (e) questions require you to analyse and evaluate, not describe. After making a point, develop it: explain WHY it matters, WHAT the consequence is, and make a judgement. A good evaluation weighs up both sides and reaches a justified conclusion — not a summary of previous points.

3

Mixing up impact categories — economic vs social vs environmental

How to fix: Learn the three categories clearly. Economic = money, jobs, revenue, investment. Social = culture, community, quality of life, congestion. Environmental = pollution, wildlife, landscape, resources. When asked for 'economic impacts', do not include social or environmental points — they earn zero marks in the wrong category.
