Title: To what extent? questions in paper 1 and 2
Post by: denise119 on October 19, 2018, 01:36:45 pm

Hi so there were essay questions in both papers which asked for 'to what extent'. But I never wrote to what extent my texts agreed with the statement. In paper 1 I only wrote to what extent in the conclusion but in paper 2 for mod b I didn't mention extent at all throughout my whole essay and I just wrote the key words from the question in my thesis but I'm still extremely worried right now. What's the maximum number of marks I would lose from this?  :'( :'( :'(

Hello!

With to what extent questions, as long as you're making an argument about the statement you should be fine. You don't explicitly have to write the word 'extent' in your essay. :-)

I can't tell you how many marks you'll lose, but as long as you know you made an argument about the question as a whole -- you'll be okay.

Don't reflect on what's just happened for too long and move on because you might be in for a great surprise come results day!
