What are the three secrets? You MUST evaluate. Find out how. You MUST know two secret methods, not just SOAPAIMS. You should do this question second, and question 5 first.

Me: *crosses out agree with evaluate and could with must*

Examiner: *(ʘᗩʘ’)*

*they are onto us.*

[amari]

I think it makes more sense to do question 5 first, then work ur way through because after doing the 8 markers you'll be aware of devices to help ur argument in question 4

I’ve been out of school since year 10 in hospital but I’m so so grateful for these videos, I may still do awful but I feel a lot more confident! :)

Teachers actually say you should always agree with the statement

[xtremegaming]

I also didn’t know that the exam board can only give a certain percentage of students grade 4’s and grade 7’s.

Well you learn something everyday I guess :)

[xtremegaming]

These videos make me feel less worried about the exams I have to do tomorrow! :) 🙂

I'm currently watching this the day before the re-sit, it's really giving me insight into how I can gain more marks... And I have never heard these "secrets" from a teacher, they sound so genuine and logical. I'm definitely gonna follow your advice. Thanks!
