Q.4). He/she was able to handle some questions set on familiar situations (Paper 1B Q.3(b) and Q.5(a);
Paper 2 Q.1(a)). However, in handling questions set on unfamiliar situations (Paper 1B Q.9 and Q.10;
Paper 2 Q.1(b) and Q.2), he/she displayed some relevant knowledge but could not apply it fully to explain

Q.9(d)(i)). In essay type questions (Paper 1B Q.11), he/she was able to select some relevant knowledge and
use scientific terminology to communicate ideas and provide some arguments to support the credibility of
