Exam tips
Paper format
- Duration
- 60 min for one subject / 130 min when taking two subjects
- Total marks
- 100
- Weighting
- 100%
- Question types
- Maps, historical documents, civic scenarios, statistics and interdisciplinary comparison
- Decide whether the item is mainly spatial, temporal or civic before reading options. Then add the other two lenses only as needed.
- For any social issue, ask: where is it happening, how did it develop, and what public decision is being made? This matches the combined subject design.
- Because the paper is broad, high-yield review is core vocabulary: scale, region, continuity, change, rights, democracy, market, sustainability and diversity.
Common mistakes
Integration
Answering from only one discipline when the item requires two or three.
How to avoid: Check whether each option fits the map/data, the historical context and the civic concept.
Source reading
Confusing correlation in a graph with historical causation.
How to avoid: Look for the source that supplies mechanism or chronology before selecting a cause.
Public concepts
Using rights, welfare, equality or sustainability as vague slogans.
How to avoid: Define the concept in the concrete case: who is affected and what changes.
