3. How to Evaluate

Evaluation is a key exam technique topic. Learning to evaluate can be a grade-boosting skill. 

Here I focus on the “depends on” evaluation structure to achieve high level evaluation. But it is also possible to use the “counterpoint” evaluation (the other side of the argument) for Edexcel.
