Hello fellow teachers!
Rather than give vague instructions and teaching the complicated AO language, giving students these simple sentence starters and model examples help even your weakest A level learners access all question types. This has made teaching exam technique a breeze for me and my staff.
This resource comprises:
One key instructions document covering all exam question types but primarily breaking down the extended writing questions (9, 16 and 20-25 markers especially) - printed for all my students and kept by them through the year)
Example model answers for 9, 16, 20, 24 and 25 mark questions included that show students how to apply the exam structure guidance (using past paper questions)
Printable templates for students to practice exam questions applying the required exam structure for all the bigger writing questions . Each template provides a self-checklist to make sure they are going to get great marks. Also included is a template for feedback which can be amended to suit your school’s marking expectations
A ‘board show’ which I use to copy the relevant slide before they attempt a practice question, this is also used at the beginning of the year or before mocks to remind them what they should do for each question.
These templates are based on AQA A Level Business and have been adapted from recent 2022 exam feedback sessions from AQA. These resources have made proven impact to my students and their results!
Feedback sheets (which you can use to mark accurately against the 3-4 Assessment objectives and give them a clear action to improve their answers to 9±25 mark questions
Any feedback is much appreciated!

2023 update: Extra 4 essay plans added.
Also includes some advice on thesis statements with an easy to follow 3 sentence formula.
Also includes advice on how to create a thesis-style introduction.
‘A thesis-style introduction that demonstrates your understanding of the question can be a really helpful way of starting your answer. It shows that you are ‘in charge’ of your essay and that you know what you think. It can provide a strong foundation for the rest of the essay. Keep referring back to the introduction to create a coherent response.’ AQA examiner’s report 2022
Creating a thesis-style introduction is a challenge for many students but is essential in helping students to reach levels 4-6 in the mark scheme. I have produced a simple 3 point structure to help students quickly generate a thesis statement in timed exam conditions. There is an example of the 3 point structure being used and then students attempt to imitate the structure for 4 other exam-style questions.
