Question
Quanto tempo dedichi a pianificare il Paper 1?
Answer
Circa due minuti prima di iniziare a scrivere.

Answer
Decode → Brainstorm → Order → Note vocab.
Question
Which criterion does a clear plan help most?
Answer
Criterion B (Message) — it gives an organised, well-developed answer.
Question
Why develop only 2–3 points rather than many?
Answer
Depth with examples beats a long list of shallow points — undeveloped ideas lose Criterion B.
Question
Should you write your plan in full sentences?
Answer
No — note form, five short lines; the plan is scaffolding for you, not text for the examiner.
Question
Why order your points before writing?
Answer
A clear order keeps the reader following you from opening to close, protecting Criterion B.
