Changes have also been made to the following pages:
Page 37: Heading C5.3.1 Interpretation of data or observations and identifying sources of error, now
reads as C5.3.1 Interpretation of data or observations

The paragraph beginning ‘Candidates should be used to looking …’ has been updated for
clarity.
The penultimate line of the paragraph beginning ‘Candidates should be able to suggest …’
now reads as ‘candidates will be able to identify the sense in which the ‘errors’ affect the
final result.’
Page 39: Section C5.3.4 Suggesting improvements, paragraph after list, 6th line, now reads ‘may
relate to sources of error or uncertainty identified by the candidate or to other sources of
