Summary of Changes Paper one objective 3 to be assessed Paper two with more marks allocated to part A Paper two reduced choice for part B extended response questions Paper two essay questions worth fewer marks Paper two essay one quality mark Paper three no longer exclusively assesses the options Paper three data-based questions more closely linked to the syllabus

Collaborative Marking Using the mark scheme collaboratively mark the P3 part A answers Share the marks you gave with others at your table Compare your marking top the sample marked responses Having marked these questions, outline the structure of this section of paper 3; i.e., briefly describe the structure of this section of the exam

Activity – Review command terms During this activity, participants in table groups will cut up the command terms and descriptions on the Command Terms list. Without getting any help from the subject guide or any other resource, groups should match the command terms with their descriptions by pasting them alongside each other on poster paper. Groups should then link each command term to an assessment objective level by writing the numbers 1, 2 or 3 next to each matched command term. Once done, groups can compare their answers to the correct answers on the command terms document. This is a good activity they can do with their students to help them get a better understanding of the command terms.
