Question 1a: [3 marks] = 5 minutes
Tips for phrasing answers:
The first point the source is making/the first reason given by the source… The second is… The third is…
Example question - What, according to Source J, were the effects for Britain of the signing of the Three Power/Tripartite Pact?

- This question is testing you on your reading comprehension and requires you to write about the message of the source i.e. what the source is telling you.
- It is worth 3 marks so you should aim to have at least 3 main points, 4 if you have time. Don’t spend much more than 5 minutes on this question.
- You should paraphrase parts of the text. You can include short sections of quotations but don’t include large chunks from the text because it takes time and doesn’t show the examiner what you understand from the sources.
