It was horrible! The Section A was especially bad. What did you argue in Section C?

Yh the multiple choice aha. Was stupid and section B was standard but I'm generally rubbish at it. For section C I argued that a year should never be repeated and achievement is more important.
What a load of balls.

Probs be 50/75 in unit 1
And 54/75 for unit 2

For A

Look at patterns of analysis - these can be applied to just about any essay and help you to analyse and think critically at a deeper level.
Having a plan in mind for each will mean you are pretty much prepared for any essay
For e.g.
Cause & effect
Problem / Solution
Benefits & drawbacks
and so on.
