Evaluate

In the context of the exam questions this means that: you should use the information supplied as well as your KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING to consider evidence FOR and AGAINST.

If it's one of the longer answers I would always recommend adding a reasoned conclusion to the end of your answer as well. Stating what you think overall and why you came to that conclusion.

A very good way to revise for this type of question is to create a table of pros and cons whenever you spot topics that lend themselves to this question type.

Typical examples are:

• • Types of microscope

  • Different gas exchanging gases methods

  • Treatments for cardiovascular disease

  • IVF

  • Different methods of contraception

  • Genetic engineering

  • Intensive farming
