What was generally done well

• Basic computer skills
• Marks were very high in this section
• Writing up your own experience
• This was generally executed very well
• Expressing your own opinion
• Most of the opinions were positive and expressed
  very well. It is equally valid to disagree with
  the authors by similarly providing evidence of
  why.
• Planning before writing
• There was a big change here from the 2005 IPP
  PET and possibly resulted in the higher marks
  overall i.e. many candidates had well structured
  responses.
