A positive judgement can be proven or disproven 'factually'. A normative judgement is one that cannot be proven or disproven 'factually'. 'Three million people are unemployed' is positive,

'Unemployment is bad for society' is normative. Typically an A-level multiple choice question or a simple answer question for AS level will ask you to distinguish between simple positive and normative judgements.
