Ep. 140→ Get the Free Parent Guide: 3 Huge Mistakes (Even Smart!) Students Make in Exams and Assignments - and how to fix them immediately so your teen confidently achieves their best ever grades.___The focus of an assignment or project is not always what it first appears to be.Take this example:> Design a Photo Story about a particular topic related to food security. It would make sense for a student to put a lot of time, effort and focus into the photos part of this assignment.However, this is not the focus of the assignment.It's not where the student should be putting their focus.As proven by the fact that NOT ONE of the mark scheme criteria even mentioned 'photos' (or images, pictures or anything else like that).And that mark scheme, rubric or success criteria is precisely how your teen can figure this out for themselves.Listen in to discover:What the marker training taught me about the task being set vs. the skills being tested.What's actually important in creative and open tasks (hint: it's NOT coming up with an interesting or unique idea!)Why your teen shouldn't 'hedge their bets' when they're unsure about something - with mark scheme proof!The overlap between skills that creates a double-whammy impact (positive or negative).And much more! FEATURED ON THE SHOW: Ep. 118: What's the Point?
