Explore – follow up your points with further extension. What other evidence supports it? What exceptions are there and why? What other aspect of the language is nearby your evidence? What’s the evidence elsewhere in the text, or in the other text?

It’s better to under-claim – be realistic about your evidence, tentative in your claims, consider alternatives; avoid ‘lots of’, ‘throughout’ etc.

Give plenty of evidence, especially if you claim something is frequent – three examples

‘Non-standard’ is not just code for ‘wrong’ – different standards obtained at different times and in different places

Look for variability in the texts, vs rules; look for exceptions and take account of them – they lead to a follow-up!

Don’t list features and then give one example. Separate and exemplify each element (eg,’there are multiple simple (examples here) and compound (examples here) sentences’)

Avoid the word ‘word’ or ‘words’ – always use technical terms; revise your word classes as a fallback for this

Pay attention to the steer in the question, if there is one, and focus on that; beware of picking out interesting features that aren’t about change, for example

Watch your timings and fill the pages – four times as much for the (b) questions

Save up the easiest/most obvious material until later, so you can do it quickly if time runs short; especially with simple graphological points in the (b) Qs

Don’t forget your AS terminology and concepts – you can get very far, especially in section A, even if you only used these

Add any further targets specific to you above or overleaf.

Check the general feedback below.Compare against the comments on your paper. Take note: Did you get this comment? Is it something you recognise you might do, even if it wasn’t commented on this time? Or is it something you’re confident with? Keep this sheet and refer back to it ahead of future mocks, and the exam.
