exam advice

the compulsory data response 50 marks 45 minutes:

4 sections:

a) data reference 4 marks - two points with two supporting data. in two clear paragraphs of two sentences.

b) explanation 6 marks - raise require number of points use extract to identify relevant points - be brief!

c) analysis 10 marks - brief cause and effect,possibly with diagram support - again use extract to guide you

d) discussion and evaluation 30 marks - think clear structure and paragraphing

• definitions are your door in then establish theory
• two issues identified and discussed-possibly advantages and disadvantages
• data reference -dont forget to you the evidence in front of you to support or criticise your arguement
• final paragraph evaluation decision on what basis and with what reservations?

essay 1 from 3

a) 20 marks b) 30 marks 45 minutes

essay approach is very much the sameonsection section the only real advice is do not spend too much time on the first section- explain two clear points and get out of there!

diagrams are a great support device- clear labelled and integrated into the discussion- use them!!

all the best
