What is the 9270 non-exam assessment?: The alternative to Paper 2: independent written work planned, drafted and refined over time under teacher supervision, assessed by the teacher and moderated by the board.
Which skills does the 9270 NEA reward?: Purposeful writing, research and use of sources, organisation, control of language, and (where a commentary is required) reflection and evaluation.
How do you narrow an NEA focus?: Turn a broad subject into a clear angle, such as "how streaming services have changed the way teenagers discover new bands" rather than "music".
How should sources be used in NEA work?: Find reliable material, select what is relevant and combine ideas in your own words rather than copying, acknowledging where ideas come from.
What should a reflective commentary do?: Explain the choices you made in your writing and judge how successfully they meet the purpose and audience.
How should an NEA piece be organised?: An introduction, developed sections and a conclusion, linked by clear paragraphs and connectives.
