4 Command Terms Glossary Compare What is wanted is a point by point identification of similarities and of differences. Use comparative adjectives egg. Larger than, smaller, more steep, less densely. Contrast... on its own, means only looking for differences. Decide or make a decision Here you are usually asked to compare different possible solutions to a problem. This means assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the alternatives. In the end, you have to decide which solution is best. Sometimes you may be asked to suggest how alternative solutions can be combined. It is important to make a clear decision. Your decision may not be a perfect solution but it should be the best from amongst the alternatives. Define... Or explain the meaning of... These words ask for a relatively short answer (check the marks given) usually two or three sentences where the precise meaning of the term is identified (usually doesn t need an example/case study). Describe... This is one of the most widely used command words. Unless the question says describe and explain, don t be tempted to explain (just avoid writing because in your answer). Describe the differences between... means only differences are required no credit is given for similarities or for descriptions of one of the items. Might best be done with individual sentences each identifying a difference. Describe the effects of... means a factual account of what has occurred, after or as a result of whatever the question has identified. Describe and comment on This demands a higher level of response than just describe. Usually the description is straightforward, with judgements about the description getting most of the marks. Use these pages if you are unsure of what an exam question is asking you to do! Page 4
5 Explain Give reasons or causes. Description is not enough (and may not be needed at all). Show an understanding of why or how something has occurred. Identify... State or name... Point out and name. These words ask for a short answer to a simple task such as: a) Identify the person from the photograph... b) Name an example of... Don t just answer with a single word - it is always better to put the answer in a brief sentence. Select... Choose. Study source A... If you re asked to look at a diagram, then you must use that to help you answer the question which follows. Suggest... Put forward an idea or reason. With reference to specific examples/case studies... You must refer to a specific place or example, preferably a case study you know in some detail. Don t just say something! Page 5
6 Mark Sheet Every time you complete an exam question keep a record of the mark you received and then how confident you felt about answering that question.
