    Hi - from someone who has marked for Edexcel, I can confirm:
    (1) you do NOT need an introduction.
    (2) an AGREE/DISAGREE structure is best - this question is a debate which makes it different to a 12 mark question.
    (3) three points are ideal - two that agree/one disagree or two that disagree/one agree.
    (4) the judgement is vital - be it at the end or via mini-judgements made throughout (which show a more sophisticated writing style/sustained analysis).

      So would tou start with saying some thing like i mostly agree with this statement then go on to do 2 agree paragraphs and 1 disagree paragraph

      Can you still get full marks using the same sentence starters
      E.g. For example... Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly... Overall...

I watched your videos on how to answers questions (mostly this one) the night before my crime and punishment paper and I got a grade 9. A 9 won't be my overall grade but thanks to your videos I'll definitely get a grads 6 overall and therefore be able to do it for a levels so thank you!

      Honestly, being marked down by one or two for silly things isn't something to worry about. I used to (and still do) get marked down for silly things all the time. You're never going to be perfect 100% of the time, so don't worry yourself. :)

      It's a video I will certainly be making at some point, how soon that is, I can't tell you. I'm pleased you've found the 12 and 16 marker videos helpful though! :)

    Thank you, I'm in year 10 and I ended up getting 14 on this question (one of the comments was that it was almost perfect!) and 29 overall because of your videos. Even though it was our first practice paper and probably won't account for anything, I'm so grateful as that is the most I've ever gotten on any questions that are on paper 1.

    • @Alonglongtimeago
      @Alonglongtimeago  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Pleased you like the videos! :) My GCSE history teacher always said you do need an intro and she marked for the exam board (but only started doing this the year I actually did GCSEs - after she'd taught us exam skills), so I'd assume yes, but not with 100% certainty.

  • @luminarymani
    @luminarymani 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am so confused right now, my whole secondary career i've been taught that we have to write and introduction, a conclusion and.... 6 paragraphs... not three. Also we have to take sides for the statement. For example in the conclusion you state if you agree or disagree with it

    • @Alonglongtimeago
      @Alonglongtimeago  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There's more than one way to write an answer to a question correctly, so the way you've been taught would work, however, you can also do it with 3 paragraphs and an intro and conclusion, which will save you a lot of time! :)

  • @DNH-c7x

      @Alonglongtimeago  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Genuinely no clue, but feel free to count the words in the example answer I use in the video, will give you a vague idea (probably at the lengthier end) :)

    Can you make an 8 Mark Question video? It's the 'How useful are Sources...' and, could you possibly make videos on other questions? I'm sure a bunch of people will be grateful of these videos... It's Mock Question Time...

    • @Alonglongtimeago
      @Alonglongtimeago  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, pleased you find my videos helpful! Seeing as you have 2 days, I'd suggest covering question structures and giving yourself an overview and then looking at anything you know that you particularly struggle with or have no knowledge of. You'll find in the exam that you know more than you think you do. Good luck!

  • @MaherHussain
    @MaherHussain 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you think it is extremely certain to be more pinpoint on key specific dates? For example, would it be necessary to name the exact year that Demonology was released or would it be fine to just mention it was released in the 1500th century?

    • @Alonglongtimeago
      @Alonglongtimeago  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you can't remember the specific date then yep go for the century (maybe even say 'end of the 16th century' but it's better if you can remember to go for the specific year :)
