Step-by-Step Guide to Answering Question 2(a) and 2(b)

This resource gives teachers and students a practical, examiner-aware, step-by-step approach to Question 2 on the IGCSE Global Perspectives written paper (0457). It explains what examiners look for, how marks map to the assessment objectives, and supplies a timed plan, paragraph structure, sample sentence starters, evaluation prompts and quick revision checklists — all linked to the official mark-schemes and examiner guidance.

Why this helps

1. Aligns student answers to AO1 (understanding & use of evidence), AO2 (analysis/evaluation) and AO3 (communication and organisation).

2. Uses examiner comments and specimen answers so students practise what examiners reward (concise claim → supporting evidence → evaluation).
