Science rewards precision. We teach the underlying ideas properly, then train students to express them in the language examiners credit.
Cells, genetics, physiology and ecology
Bonding, reactions, energetics and calculations

A large share of marks now comes from working scientifically: required practicals, variables, accuracy and precision, graph drawing and evaluating method. We teach these explicitly rather than hoping they are picked up along the way.
Students also practise interpreting unfamiliar data, because examiners increasingly test whether knowledge can be applied to a context that has never been seen before.
Read apparatus, methods, tables and graphs accurately.
Consider variables, uncertainty, precision and limitations.
Connect evidence to scientific ideas using exact language.
