Does anyone have any idea how to structure the essay questions or if there is a preferable template to follow? Or how the marks are generally distributed?

Thanks

In our school we are taught marks are allocated for every point you write, so in the 13/14 markers you should be aiming to write 13/14 points, no marks for expanding but you should still do it to explain your point!
I think it'll either be on politics or on terrorism, relating to ISIS as it was on the news a lot during september when the paper was written

What does anyone else think?

Why David Cameron is a dick
I did general studies as a lesson, and our teacher told us to aim to write 4/5 well structured and explained points for both of the 13/14 marker questions,

He also advised spend roughly 40 mins on the multiple choice, 5 mins on question 2(3 marks) 10 mins on question 3(5 marks), 15 mins on question 4(13 marks) and 20 mins on question 5(14 marks)

For the 3 marker - just bullet points no explanation needed
For the 5 marker - need full sentences with explanation DO NOT USE THE SOURCE
