The Free CIPD Critical Analysis Self-Check
Too descriptive is the most common feedback in CIPD assessment. This free, printable self-check gives you six passes to run over any finished draft, so you find the flat paragraphs before your assessor does.
What's inside
Six checks that turn description into analysis
Each check tells you what to scan for, how to spot a failure, and the specific fix, so auditing your own draft stops depending on being able to read it like a stranger.
- The verbs check: describing vs reasoning
- The judgement check for evaluate tasks
- The counterview check, fairly answered
- The evidence-weight check on citations
- The assumption check on your arguments
- The so-what check, paragraph by paragraph
Works at every level. Criticality is a core requirement from Level 5 and runs throughout Level 7, but the same six checks lift a Level 3 answer too. Run them after drafting, not during.
