Notes or a memorised script?
Notes — a script sounds flat and derails if you lose your place.
Why signpost as you speak?
So the examiner can follow your structure — it shows control.
What phrasing sounds analytical?
‘This suggests’, ‘the effect is’, ‘the writer's choice here…’.
How fast should you speak?
A steady pace — don't rush; use short pauses for weight.
What should your notes contain?
Brief bullet points and key quotations, not full sentences.
Which criteria does delivery support?
D (language) and C (organisation).
The risk of reading notes in a monotone?
It hides your analysis — deliver with pace and signposting.
What are you demonstrating in the IO?
Thinking through an argument, not performing a monologue.
A short pause before a key point…
Gives it weight and control.
Delivery in one line?
Notes, steady pace, signposting, analytical phrasing — think aloud.
