Writing the A2 1 synoptic essay around one decade or sub-period instead of the whole specified century.

Organise the essay by theme or factor, and show how each one plays out at different points across the whole period, not chronologically by decade.

Evaluating a primary source's utility with a stock phrase, such as calling it biased because it is an eyewitness account, without linking that to what the source can and cannot show.

Name the author, date, and audience, then say specifically what that combination allows the source to reveal, and what it cannot.

Summarising Interpretation A and Interpretation B one after the other in A2 2 Question 2 without directly comparing them.

Write a paragraph testing each interpretation against your own knowledge, then a final paragraph that states which is more convincing and why, engaging with both together.

Treating the two source extracts in A2 2 Question 1(b) in isolation, without weaving in independent contextual knowledge.

Use both sources together in the same paragraph and add at least one fact from outside the sources to support or challenge what they say.

Asserting a trend of change or continuity in the A2 1 essay without specific supporting evidence.

Every claim about change needs a named event, date, or figure attached to it. An unsupported claim reads as an assertion, not an argument.

Assuming full marks in the interpretations question requires declaring one historian entirely right and dismissing the other.

Acknowledge what the weaker interpretation still gets right before explaining why the other is, on balance, more convincing.

Running out of time on the final question of A2 2 after over-writing the earlier source questions.

Both A2 papers run at just under two minutes a mark. Time each question against that figure rather than writing until you feel finished.
