Paper 2 Question 1
Focus: Find 4 true statements Marks: 4 Time: 4 mins
Q1 should be an easy way for you to get 4 marks, but you still need to take care not to make careless mistakes.
- Read each statement closely.
- Find evidence in the text to prove it true or false.
- You should end up with four true and four false statements.
- If you have more (or less) than four true statements, check each statement again.
- If you have a tricky statement that you're not sure about, read it again carefully and check for any similar sentences in the extract which look similar.
Top tips!
