Why RHS Level 2 candidates lose marks 🌱

The details are in the image. Which of these catches you out most?

Free lessons: hortpass.co.uk/free #RHSLevel2 #Horticulture

Infographic: Why RHS Level 2 candidates lose marks. Writing all they know: instead of answering the question set. Stopping at the point: no development, so half the marks.
