To help prepare for Paper 1 and Paper 2 review the following information on command terms.  Information in this post is from John Crane's website - InThinking  IB Psychology.

The command terms that can be used for SAQs are outline, describe and explain.  SAQs will ask you for one - and one only - piece of research to support your response. In addition, notice that the command terms that are used do not ask you to evaluate the research.  Please do not include evaluation in your SAQs, You have 20 minutes to write each short-answer question during the exam. A typical response to a short-answer should be between 250 and 400 words. 
 
​Command terms for SAQs:

Describe

Tell what you know about the topic in as much detail as possible, using examples.

Discuss
Offer a considered and balanced review that includes a range of arguments, factors or hypotheses. Conclusions should be presented clearly and supported by appropriate evidence. Present an argument using evidence. Thinking globally! Do not just evaluate research.

Evaluate
Make an appraisal by weighing up the strengths and limitations of something.
