02How it is examined

What a Human Use and Impact question asks you to do

Year 11 Course Examination Shape is 100 marks in 150 minutes. Questions on Human Use and Impact are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Marine Studies uses.

Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.

03Where this module sits

Human Use and Impact in the Marine Studies course

Human Use and Impact is module 2 of 3 in Marine Studies. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
