Your concern about focusing on the Mathematical Understanding because it has the highest number of points is unfounded. In fact, in my experience of marking, this is one of the easiest to get marks for. You can double check calculations and explain why you choose certain formulae or made certain assumptions and as long as you know what you're doing, this satisfies the examiner. What's harder to score marks on are the Personal Engagement and Reflection criteria. I find that most students struggle with these criteria and mainly score 1 or 2 points for each of these criteria. Rarely do I see full scores for these criteria. On the other hand, for the Mathematical Understanding criterion it's pretty easy to score 5/6 and with some effort even a 6/6. Does this still hold up in 2021 with the recent changes to the rubric? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
