Paper 2 tips

• Try to structure your response around the content points set out in the task. If you don’t address all of them explicitly and develop them fully, you’ll be penalised for not answering the question. Remember that the reader has to be fully informed.
• Your conclusion has to emerge naturally from the body of your work. Don't leave the reader confused about your point of view on the issue. It does not matter how controversial your ideas are, so long as they are consistent and well-supported.
• Organise your response clearly with suitable linking.
• Use a wide range of appropriate language accurately (e.g. hypothesising, evaluating, explaining, speculating, making predictions, etc).
• Use paragraphing effectively.

Which tip do you find the most useful?

I believe the most useful tip is the one about the conclusion. "It has to emerge naturally from the body of your work". I'd like to highlight the word naturally. It demands practice, but that's what we've been doing. Thanks for the tips!!!
