• You should keep your answers short in Parts 1 and 2 of the Paper. Many students write much more than they need to here – Examiners only want to see that the question has been understood, and answered briefly but accurately. Don’t give more detail/information than you need to – be precise.

• It might be helpful if you decide quickly on what type of question is being asked. Is it a ‘when’ question? Or ‘where’, or ‘how’? Getting this right from the start, should make it easier for you to find the information/answer.

• Copying the correct phrase from an article is allowed – but it also acceptable to use some of your own words to communicate the answer. It’s best to check, though, that what you have written can be understood by someone else clearly, and that it doesn’t lead to a confusing answer.

• If you don’t know the answer to a question, you can attempt a guess by choosing what you think is a relevant section from the article, but you should write down only one point (or more if the question asks for more). Listing a number of possible answers is not a good idea; it will just waste your time.

• Be careful not to offer an inference when the answer is actually stated in the text. You’re looking (by scanning and skimming) for information that is there – you are not expected to work out or estimate what an answer might be, or should be.

• Try to make sure that your answer includes all of the required information. Adding two or three words can often make sure of this. Is the answer you have given complete?

• Be clear on how many answers (or points) are required. The questions will state this clearly, so make sure you have provided the number of points asked for.

• Don’t look for the answer in the question! Some students think that if they turn the words around in the question, they might find the answer. This is never the case – the answers are always found in the passage that you will have read.

• Where a map, or a chart, or a diagram is included in the article, it is likely that the answer to one of the questions will be found there. Make sure you read through all the resources you are given carefully.
