Must demonstrate ability to interrogate and critically examine field data
You must do more than present your data — you must question it. Ask whether your results are reliable, what might have skewed them, and what they actually prove.
Real World
A student who recorded high levels of litter near a park entrance questioned whether their results were skewed because data was collected the day after a weekend festival — demonstrating critical awareness of anomalous conditions.
Exam Focus
Interrogation requires evaluative language — use phrases like 'this result may be unreliable because' to signal critical thinking to the examiner.
