What you'll learn

  • 1For source questions, always use the provenance (nature, origin, purpose) alongside the content of the source to reach a judgement.
  • 2'Explain two effects' or 'explain why' questions need at least two clearly developed reasons, each supported with specific evidence.
  • 3'Compare' questions need you to identify explicit similarities and differences, not just describe each item separately.
  • 4For 8-mark and 12-mark questions, a strong plan lists at least two or three points, each with supporting evidence, before you begin writing.
