2. Paper 1 distractor log
| Date/topic | My choice | Correct idea | Attractive assumption | Rule for next time | Retest date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3. Calculation audit
4. Graph audit
- □ Axes name quantity and unit.
- □ Scale uses the grid and is easy to interpolate.
- □ Points are small and precise.
- □ Fit is appropriate and not dot-to-dot.
- □ Anomaly is retained and discussed.
- □ Gradient uses a large triangle on the fit, with units.
- □ Interpretation connects the result to the defined variables.
Graph-specific evidence and correction
5. Paper 5 planning canvas
6. Evaluation-chain worksheet
| Specific limitation | Direction/effect | Feasible change |
|---|---|---|
Avoid: “human error → inaccurate → be more careful.” Name the mechanism.
7. Error log
Cause legend: Retrieve · Select · Represent · Reason · Execute · Review
| Date/paper | Skill | Topic | Cause | Original thinking | Corrected principle | Next drill/date | Retest |
