This article explores how you can make sure that you achieve full marks for the ‘outline two…’ or ‘outline three…’ questions that appear on AQA Paper 1 on ‘Education’ and Paper 3 on ‘Crime and deviance’. Many students lose marks on these questions by making a number of errors which can be overcome with careful preparation and practice. Remember that you have around 6 minutes to answer a 4-mark question and 9 minutes to answer a 6-mark question. Be careful not to spend too little or too much time on any one answer.

For the 4-mark questions, all 4 marks are for AO1 ‘Knowledge and understanding’. For the 6-mark questions, there are 3 marks awarded for AO1 and 3 marks awarded for AO2
