What are the two designated periods?Show answer
Eduqas draws the unseen prose from one of two periods, and the question normally tells you which.
What is a timing note in practice?Show answer
A strong candidate spends roughly half the available Section A time reading and planning, then writes a tight close reading, rather than starting to write immediately and discovering halfway through that the controlling idea was wrong. The planning pays for itself in coherence and saves time overall.
