Higher PE - Evaluate questions

Evaluate questions refer to the end of the process and require you to look back on the effectiveness of something.

When answering evaluate questions, you need to:

  • make a judgement
  • support this judgement with evidence that shows why you said it was effective or ineffective

Each time you do this, you should write in past tense.
