How do I answer a six mark question?

So, six mark questions are notorious for being anxiety inducing but they aren't as scary as they seem. What we as a pair have to do is simply sit down together and go through all the possible six mark questions on your syllabus and find 8 key points that we can write down to answer them. We can look through previous mark schemes and see what the exam board is looking for and we'll practice writing them out quickly and concisely. Six marks means six key points so it's always better to write down 8 just to ensure that you've covered all your bases.
