I have prepared this resource, after 2022 exam marking session for AQA, to help my students to understand exam answers’ structure even more and develop them further. I understand that not all of them will get the maximum marks but even if everyone of them can improve their answers to reach the next level then my job is done.
The resource has answer structures for 4, 6 and 9 markers for all command words I came across in the new specification past papers starting from 2018. The resource also has some connectives to help students to develop their answers.
Hope it helps you too.
