How can I get advice on how to structure answers to exam questions? How should my students approach the exam questions?

We have a comprehensive ‘Teacher Guide: A guide to 6-mark questions’ which covers key points for preparing students to extended response questions and several examples with commentary, to support teaching and learning. This can be found on Teach Cambridge on the subject page under Assessment > Assessment support.

In addition to these, we have several other resources which contain useful information, advice and guidance:

• Mark schemes show how each question was assessed. You can find these on Teach Cambridge here.
• Examiner reports can be used to provide guidance on assessment for teachers and students. They identify technical aspects examined in the questions and highlight good performance and where performance could be improved including a selection of candidate answers with examiner commentary. Our examiner reports can be found on Teach Cambridge, on the subject page under Assessment > Examiners’ reports.
• Candidate exemplars include examiner commentary explaining why a particular mark was given and how a higher mark could have been achieved. These can be found here on Teach Cambridge under Assessment > Candidate exemplars.
• Training events offer another source of support.  Details of upcoming events and material from previous events can be found on Teach Cambridge under Training > upcoming training events and Training > past training events.
