Understanding, interpreting and utilising the extract are important elements of the examinable skills that are tested at AS. The extract — usually a paragraph or two in length, adapted from a political textbook or article — is referred to in both the 5-mark and the 10-mark questions.
Your question selection should be made primarily on the basis of the 25-mark mini-essay, though the two extract-based questions will need to be answered well to achieve a high mark overall. Once you have selected the questions to be answered, set about underlining or highlighting the most relevant text within the extract prior to beginning your responses.
