•Read the questions carefully.•Look for key words/phrases that tell you what to do – “compare”, “illustrate your answer”, “describe and explain”, “evaluate”..•Does the answer have to be in a given form – “to 1 decimal place”, “to 2 significant figures”, “referring to examples”,..?
Underline these key words so that you don’t forget.

Look at how many marks are given for the answer.1 mark - you need give the answer only. If more than 1 mark – you need to show some further detail e.g. your working out.The marks available should guide the time you spend answering the question.

If you become ill, need extra paper, feel there is something wrong - put your hand up to attract the attention of an invigilator.

Remember though – the invigilator is not allowed to help by reading or explaining the question.
Just try to answer the question as best you can.
