1. Read AQ question first, then summary and short qn.
2. Annotate. Identify function of para (Arg, Elab, Observ, Data). How is it linked to others? Do Para summary. Use colours, highlights, underline, circle etc. Interact with the text.
3. Analyse qn type and mark allocation. How many steps, how many marks?
4. Summary: Key step is number points and select points to paraphrase. Paraphrase key ideas not key words. Examples cannot be used. Generalise them.
5. AQ: Analyse qn req properly. Key step: You must identify the Arg that allows you to answer the qn and engage in a discussion that leads to Eg and Eval. Structure: Stand, Expl, Eval. Eg. Not neccessarily in that order, but all the ingredients must be there. Never use examples from the passage. If you do. you must complement with your own. Not sure how to Eval? Use PIPICACI!!!
Try your best. Whatever you achieve will make the next climb easier!
