Which eight terms does the 0457 syllabus say help with the Written Exam?: Bias, claim, fact, generalisation, opinion, prediction, value and vested interest.
What is a generalisation? Give an example: One case stretched to all: a broad conclusion from limited cases that may not hold more widely. "All aid is stolen."
Certified farmers earn more. Does that prove certification caused it?: No. This is correlation, not cause: other differences between the farmers could explain it. Look for a fair comparison group.
Why might a rise in sales income not mean producers are better off?: Income is not profit: higher sales may not mean higher earnings once costs are paid. Ask about costs, the sample and the comparison group.
Why distinguish short-term and long-term consequences?: An action can look good now and harm later: an aid cut saves money now but may harm health for years.
At which levels should a global issue be considered?: Personal, local and/or national, and global. The Individual Report needs local and/or national perspectives as well as global ones; moving between levels marks a strong answer.
