Ever have words that mess with your mind when reading or writing?
Or should that be words which mess with your mind?
I ALWAYS have to double check on that pair of pesky words.
(Though after google-ing it about a million times now, I think I’ve got it, but I still check… just to check) 😉
Well, after getting through 660 papers, by Day 3 of exam marking
I realised there was an exam-specific pair of words where students were either:
- Missing out on marks by not giving the (relatively easy) info required
OR
- Providing unnecessary info that wasn’t asked for.
In EMVD Part 3, I share the *specific* wording of the Q that led to this confusion.
Thing is, it’s crazy-easy to figure out ONCE students know the exact meaning of these two words and how to deal with them!
Don’t miss this one!

P.S. I also touch on how external exams are actually marked… what if a marker judges your teen’s paper incorrectly?
Does it get remarked?
How rigorous is state exam marking?
It’s all in this –just over 4mins of jam-packed- video!
