How would I go about structuring a 15 mark answer in A2 Politics

The key way to go about structuring a 15 marker is to divide your answer into three sections, this allows you to cover a wide range of points that the question is looking for without spending too much time answering the question. There is of course no need for an introduction or a conclusion as this won't gain you any additional marks and will simply again waste you time come the exam. Therefore you need to think of your three best overview points that will help you directly answer the question and support your argument.Within each three of these points it is paramount that you include precise detail and knowledge which will come across mainly through examples. These examples should be geared towards the present day as this will demonstrate your ability to follow current affairs in the world of politics. So for example if a question was asking on the relevance of the significance of the presidential veto, it would be vital that you would be able to show your knowledge of recent presidential vetoes and how frequently they are used. Finally while no evaluation is needed on these 15 markers it is advised to have a balanced argument, therefore it would be wise to have two paragraphs supporting your argument and one countering it, in order to show your knowledge of both sides of the debate. It is important to remember that this question is aimed to show your understanding of the key political institutions not for you to express your strong opinion on the matter
