GCSE Psychology: Other than the 13 marker, what will be the most number of marks available for a single question?

To make sure the predictability of the exam is not affected, there is a limit to the amount of detail we can go in to.

Page 22 of the specification, it says there will be short and medium tariff questions, and one extended answer per paper. There will also be three multiple-choice questions per topic area (excluding section D). These will appear at the beginning of each section.

The sample assessment materials and the Practice Papers give a full range of the types of questions and command words students can expect.

Students should use one mark a minute as a timing guide.
