Command words  Purpose — to help candidates understand the type of response required.  Words used at AH level demand more higher order skills — eg ‘identify’ never used.  Twelve command words at AH level.  Can be divided into 4 categories.

The 4 Categories  Description  Description — describe  Explanation  Explanation — explain, explore, justify, suggest  Comparison  Comparison — compare, contrast, discuss  Measurement  Measurement — assess, evaluate  Analyse and Examine combine description and explanation.

Description  Describe — ‘Provide a thorough description’.  Describe what the thing is — do not just give advantages and disadvantages (unless these are specifically asked for).

Explanation  Explore — ‘Explain in detail’  Explain — ‘Give a detailed account for something’  Justify — ‘Explain why/give reasons to support your statements’  Suggest — ‘Make a judgement and give some support or reason for your suggestion’

 All mean: identify a point — no marks for this.  Expand points using phrases such as ‘because’/ ‘therefore’/ ‘this means that’.  Several marks can be scored from one main point.  Be guided by the mark allocation. Explanation

Description and Explanation  Analyse — ‘Consider in detail and describe essential features’.  Examine — ‘Give both a description and an explanation’.

Comparison  Compare — ‘Identify similarities and differences between two or more factors’.  Do not just take the features of one factor and then the features of the other, but consider them alongside each other.  Use ‘whereas’, or ‘but’ for differences, ‘both’ for similarities.

 Contrast (distinguish at H level) — ‘Identify the difference between two or more factors’.  As for compare, but relates to differences only — do not just list; distinguish one factor from another.  Discuss — ‘Examine closely taking account of strengths and weaknesses in an argument; for and against’.  Give both sides — not necessarily evenly. Comparison

Measurement  Assess — ‘Examine closely with a view to measuring a particular situation taking account of strengths and weaknesses; for and against’.  Evaluate – ‘Make an appraisal of the worth/ effectiveness or usefulness of something’.  Both mean — weigh up the strength of the factors being described — which are more important/less important and why?

Advice  Teach candidates the 4 different categories of command words.  Advise them that the same approach can be used for different command words within the categories.  Stress the importance of being guided by the mark allocation.
