About our Exam Guidance resources

Many students aren’t aware of some of the most important elements of Exam Technique within their A Levels. Our A Level exam guidance course goes into detail about how to plan, structure and enhance politics essays. These include:

Having a balanced argument that presents ideas from both sides.

A consistent evaluation that runs throughout the essay, rather than just the introduction or conclusion.

A clear and coherent structure that is well planned out.

Synoptic links where necessary to show wider understanding of subjects as a whole.

Our A Level Exam Guidance resources break down the exam papers into the different question types, with guidance on how to answer each of them. We also look at the Assessment Objectives, which set out how marks are divided up. These resources pair with our Model Answers and Practice Papers to provide a full exam preparation suite.

A higher proportion of marks for A Levels than students appreciate come from how a question is answered. Study Dog is here to show the importance of exam technique.
