- Practise rewriting leading survey questions in neutral language.
- Prepare an academic or personal research example and explain your method, finding and limitation.
- Take a small set of consumer comments and practise grouping them into themes.
- Think about how price, pack size, shopping location and household context can shape FMCG choices.
Common mistakes
- Treating a small or convenient sample as representative of every consumer.
