SBQ
1. Take note of the title of the SBQ, this will give you a focus to what the key issue of the SBQ.
2. There are only a few skills you need to remember, inferential, comparison, reliability and utility.
3. Use back the instructional word, for e.g, if the question asks "How far does the source prove that...?" remember it's asking about proving, then don't write it's reliable, write it proves or does not prove to what extent.
4. When comes to comparison question, remember that there must be point of comparison. Are you comparing about the causes, consequences, impacts, etc? Don't just lift from source without the point of comparison.
5. When giving answer on purpose, remember the 3 things, provenance, target audience and intended outcome.
6. When comes to inferential, 2 inferences, support with evidence.
7. When comes to reliability question, cross-reference to check reliability. Take note of what issue you're cross-referencing to.
8. When comes to "How useful is the source as evidence...?", take note that a source can be not reliable yet still useful or may not be useless etc.
SEQ
1. Don't give long introduction. Short one to lead the marker to the issue will do.
2. Link back to question. Make sure you explain the factor that answers the question.
3. Make a stand, which factor is most important or significant.
4. Given factor MUST be well-explained. If you don't know given factor well, I suggest you do other question unless you don't have a choice.
Lastly, please manage your time well. Do not use more than 50 minutes per section.
All the best!
