Paper 3 - exam technique

Question 1

MCQs…

(35 mins max)

Answer 1

• 1 min max. overall (35 mins max in total)

Question 2

KAA

15 marker…

(23 mins max)

Answer 2

-> Plan (5 mins max)
P1 - (MACRO or MICRO) - Point, QL chains of analysis, QL min.2 extract/world evidence, RCCDE and QL. (6 mins max)
P2 - (MACRO or MICRO) - Point, QL chains of analysis, QL min.2 extract/world evidence, RCCDE and QL. (6 mins max)
P3 - (MACRO or MICRO) - Point, QL chains of analysis, QL min.2 extract/world evidence, RCCDE and QL. (6 mins max)

(Don’t conflate macro and micro) - MACRO/MICRO THINGS WHEN NECESSARY

EVERYTHINGS GOTTA B RELEVANT, INCLUDING POINTS!!!!!!!!

Question 3

KAA

10 marker…

(21 mins max)

AN EXTENDED 4 MARKER

Answer 3

Plan (4 mins max)
P1 - Point, extract, explain, HOWEVER with extract and explanation and perhaps consider source type (4 mins max)
P2 - Point/However point, extract, explain, HOWEVER with extract and explanation and perhaps consider source type etc (4 mins max)
P3 - Point/However point, extract, explain, HOWEVER with extract and explanation and perhaps consider source type etc (4 mins max)
Conc - Final judgement, with brief overview of argument (3 mins max) + ‘THIS DEPENDS ON’

(EXPLANATION NEEDS 3 CHAINS)

For howevers, perhaps think of data limitations, whats missing etc

Question 4

KAA

25 marker…

(35 mins max) - Normal 25 marker, but with MACRO or MICRO

Answer 4

• Read the question carefully.
• Underline key QWs.
• 8 mins planning

Intro (2 mins max):
-> CD of QWs and factors, factor/point summary and rndm knowledge with overview.
P1 (7 mins max): MACRO or MICRO
-> State applicable and contextualised factor(s)/point(s), with definitions. and QWs linkages.
-> QL clear chains of analysis, with contextualised examples.
-> Extract proof/world rndm knowledge -> REASONABLY REALISTIC
-> Perhaps min. two RCCDEs (relevant clear contextualised…
-> Perhaps min. two evaluation (‘however it depends on’…) with 3x ‘given that’. -> OR HOWEVER POINTS
P2 (7 mins max): MACRO or MICRO
-> State applicable and contextualised factor(s)/point(s), with definitions. and QWs linkages.
-> QL clear chains of analysis, with contextualised examples.
-> Extract proof/world rndm knowledge -> REASONABLY REALISTIC
-> Perhaps min. two RCCDEs (relevant clear contextualised…
-> Min. two evaluation (‘however it depends on’…) with 3x ‘given that’. -> OR HOWEVER POINTS
P3 (7 mins max): MACRO or MICRO
-> State applicable and contextualised factor(s)/point(s), with definitions. and QWs linkages.
-> QL clear chains of analysis, with contextualised examples.
-> Extract proof/world rndm knowledge -> REASONABLY REALISTIC
-> Perhaps min. two RCCDEs (relevant clear contextualised…
-> Min. two evaluation (‘however it depends on’…) with 3x ‘given that’. -> OR HOWEVER POINTS
Conc (3 mins max):
-> Match intro (with QWs linkages).
-> Final opinion with 3x evaluations, and present a new idea with brief explanation, CONTEXT
-> Min. 2 ‘however it depends on’ with min. 2 given that.

Question 5

IMPORTANT POINTS…

Answer 5

• UNDERLINE KEY EXTRACT INFO THROUGHOUT + Link economic point e.g. stats, facts, topics etc
• COMBINE MACRO/MICRO POINTS WELL
• ANSWER EXTENSIVELY WITHIN TIME CONSTRAINTS (ESPECIALLY CONCLUSIONS)
• Rearange equations when needed

(For all questions + Don’t forget to contextualise)
