Q1

• Question 1 assesses the first bullet point of AO1 to identify and interpret explicit and implicit information and ideas
• You are presented with 8 statements and asked to identify 4 that are true
• Draw a box around the part of the text you're asked to refer to, in this case, lines 1 to 25
• Some true statements may require inference and reading between the lines
• Example: Liam Murphy makes a joke to excuse his poor exam result - inferred from a line in the text
• Be cautious of statements that are worded similarly to the text but are actually incorrect
• The statements are presented in the same chronological order as the text, making it easier to check for correct answers
• Allocate around 5 minutes for Question 1, spending about 1 minute per mark available
• Shade the circle in the box next to the correct answers once identified
