How To Think Like An Examiner

Education : English

One of the best ways to get marks off an examiner is to think like one.

To get in the mindset of what they are looking for, it can be useful to ask your teacher for a sample marking guide, like an examiner has.

Note down the sorts of things they look for, and then when writing an answer, try to include them.

Often to get an OK grade you need to:
- convey your meaning simply and accurately
- use the correct tone / language for your audience
- write clearly

To get top grades:

- demonstrate you know EXACTLY what the reader wants
- use good, wide language, with a precise answer
- use EXAMPLES to EXPLAIN and DESCRIBE
- use the correct method of PRESENTATION to convey meaning
