GP AQ Self-Check Rubric

The AQ is the most gameable part of Paper 2, and the most under-taught. Tick what your answer actually does to see your indicative band and the two mistakes that cap most students.

Self-check your AQ before you submit

Tick the boxes that apply.
Pitfall 1. You mentioned Singapore but did not evaluate whether the author's claim actually applies here. Naming an example is not the same as judging it.
Pitfall 2. You agreed or disagreed with the author but did not link back to their specific point. Always return to what they argued.
