How to achieve E8 in an English Exam?

Things that I have learned about how to get E8 in an English Exam:
'

  • He said in his video that you have to elaborate on things you are writing such as explaining a specific language feature. You have to dig deeper into the text and don't just write what is obvious. 
  • You have to add your personal voice. Write how can you link this to yourself and persuade readers that you have understood the text.
  • Write an appreciation for the text. You have to persuade readers that the text had an impact on you and it gave you moral lessons.
  • Talk about the effect of a language feature.
  • Author's purpose of language features/choices.

 
  1. Achieved - You will get an achieve mark on your paper if you have followed the basic instructions and rules. This is like the mark you will get if you have explained and wrote the surface level of the text.
  2. Merit - The website says that you will get merit if you have written a text that has a convincing understanding. You have to extend your understanding of the text and add some more details to your text like explaining more about the language feature you chose, clearly giving an impact to an intended audience, writing a conclusion and etc. You will also be needing to put the purpose of the text you are writing about.
  3. Excellence -  To get this mark, you have to provide a profound insight into the text. You have to give your perception about the text and link it to a wider world.
