In fact he shows you how to get 100% and beyond. The guide will also show you how to become a brilliant writer, so that you will be able to enjoy writing for life.

Look, I can tell you how to answer Question 4 at every grade. But, what if I also show you what each grade looks like, with 8 exam answer? And then give you my examiner comments to explain why it earns the marks? And what if I do that with a new exam paper, you've never seen before, but which is based precisely on a real exam paper? Would you learn how to answer Question 4? Maybe, maybe not. Ok, so what if I write another exam paper that is based precisely on another real exam paper. Y...

The average score for students across the country for this question is below 50%. That's not a joke, at least not a funny one. The reasons are obvious: AQA doesn't show teachers, students and parents what great answers look like, and teachers overcomplicate what they teach. In this guide, I solve both problems. 24 answers, several at each grade, so you can see exactly how to score marks and improve your grade. And I've come up with a super simple method, which works 100% of the time!...

I've read hundreds of exam answers to find out the answers to 2 questions: 1. Why are students writing awful descriptions and stories? 2.

Well, there are a few reasons why students write badly, but the main one is this - AQA and other exam boards have created a terrible question, the description question. The solution is to read 100 answers at every grade. Find out what loses marks. Discover how students...

This is a ‘new’ question, which had never appeared in any exam before 2017. Teachers have always found this a puzzling one – they haven’t studied the structure of extracts like this for A level or for their degree. AQA is equally puzzled by it, which is why they give it only 8 marks. They have found students write a lot more for question 3 than question 2, even though question 2 is also worth the same 8 marks. This is a problem I will try to cure. The second problem AQA hadn’t...
