Studied written texts · Part 1 of 3
6 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 8 quick multi-choice questions — every question on this part of the standard, grouped by the 2 pages of notes they come from.

Explain what respond critically means at Level 3 and how it differs from analyse at Level 2.
Explain why a strong Level 2 essay does not reach Merit at Level 3, and how to convert an analytical paragraph into a critical one.
Using the Kaituna Freezing Works extract, discuss the extent to which adding judgement to a Level 2 reading is enough to reach the top of this standard.
Describe the format of the AS91472 exam and explain what discuss the extent to which you agree requires you to do.
Explain how to break an exam statement into its separate claims, and why that produces a better essay than deciding whether you agree with it as a whole.
Discuss the claim that the hardest position to argue in this exam — disagreeing with the statement and offering a better account — is also the most rewarding one to attempt.
