- 8 mark exam questions will consist of one question worth 8 marks at the end of each exam paper - The questions will require students to plan their response using the PEEEEL structure (Point, Evidence, Explain, Extend, Example, Link/Link back) - Responses should be 3 paragraphs: arguing for/against and drawing a conclusion, comparing options for 12 mark questions - Strong responses will use evidence from resources and show comprehensive reasoning, whereas basic responses provide limited discussion.
