• Describing when asked to explain — features without a mechanism score the lower tariff only.
• Vague definitions that do not use specification language.
• Skipping the neighbouring subtopic in Mao’s China, 1949–76, so the paper feels like isolated facts.
• Never testing retrieval — notes feel fluent until the free Social And Cultural Changes, 1949–76 quiz shows the gap.
