May I ask what your structure is?

For the 45 marks I do 4 of these:
-Point, Evidence from one source, Analyse
-Author criticism & negative
-Link back to the question
-Point, Evidence from another source, Analyse
-Author criticism & negative
-Link back to the question

It takes me 11 minutes per 'argument,' set out as above. In your opinion, is this too much? I am aiming for an A in this subject and it's my greatest concern atm

Thank you for replying :smile:

-sorry for butting in-

My structure is fairly similar generally if there's an argument between the sources I split them into for and against. You won't need a lot of analysis so long as you provide detail on the facts. You certainly don't even need to do 4 sources you can get away with doing 3 well. Also as far as evidence goes just state 'we know this because the source tells us' and give a summary trying to learn quotations is a waste of time when you can get full marks without them.
