Hi Mike,
So if you do the plan in the answer booklet, wouldn’t the examiner think this as bullet points etc? Can we just cancel the plan once we write the main answer or is it possible we can make the plan at the back of the booklet to avoid confusion
Thanks in Advance
What’s the problem with writing “Plan” at the top of the first page of each answer and then, WITH A RULER, drawing a straight line across the page and then starting your answer?
Do you really imagine that this is the first time these markers have marked a plan in an answer booklet?
How can you even begin to think about the idiocy of writing your plan in the back of the answer booklet? You may as well have it written on a pice of paper that you leave at home – keep having to go backwards and forwards to see what is next in the plan!
Madness!
OK?
hi mike
so with a small paragraph of say 12 marks, is it safer to think of 12 issues, OR 6 issues each with 2 points of explanation?before is used to write the plan in the question paper not the answer booklet, but sounds brilliant to write it on top of the page of the answer … thanks for the strategy
“so with a small paragraph of say 12 marks, is it safer to think of 12 issues, OR 6 issues each with 2 points of explanation?”
Work on the basis of one point for one mark
If a questions says “identify and explain” (or similar) that’s two questions1) identify
2) explainIf that’s a 12 mark requirement, that’s 6 marks for identifying and 6 marks for explaining
Ok, it’s possible that that’s 1/2 mark for identifying and 1.5 marks for explaining but what difference is that knowledge going to make to the planning process?
Are you going to plan an “identify” point only 1/3 the length of an “explain” point?
Work on one mark for one point!

you’re welcome
