    • Proof read longer answers such as the 6 mark question

    All questions

    Longer written questions (4-6 marks)

  • • Check the number of marks available for each question; use this to determine the length of time to spend on the answer and how much you need to write.

    • Look out for questions which don’t have specific lines for an answer e.g. lines of best fit on a graph.

    • If it says tick two boxes, then tick two (not three!)
