Make Your Practice Count
Choose one skill at a time. A short, focused attempt gives you something concrete to improve.
1. Choose Your Focus
Start with a skill you find difficult: understanding a passage, explaining a writer’s choices or organising a paragraph. Check that any exam advice matches your course and paper.
2. Have a Go
Pause the lesson or put the advice beside you. Write a short response of your own and try the technique. Give yourself time to think before looking at an example.
3. Review and Try Again
Identify one thing that worked and one thing to improve. Rewrite a sentence or paragraph, then practise the same skill with a different question.
