I marked 500 GCSE Paper 2s this year. It was a genuine joy. Here are some top tips I learned to help your students access top marks! @Team_English1
1. Q2 works best when students take one like-for-like inference and create layers of inference. Depth is the best way forward!
2. Q3 - subject terminology often hindered rather than helped. The only way to move up the marks is focusing on effects and focusing on terminology often meant effects were placed second.
