Most answers lose marks by explaining what happens instead of how the writer makes it happen. An AQA examiner shows you the difference, then helps you write it.

I am looking for students who know the text well but keep hearing the same comment: “You’re just retelling the story.” You read it, you understand it, and your mark still doesn’t move. If that sounds like you, you are exactly who I want in my class.
Marking papers as an examiner showed me the difference is rarely knowledge. It is how you write about what you know. So we stop retelling and start explaining how the writer makes it work: one short extract, why this word, why here, then a paragraph built together sentence by sentence before you write your own.
Bring me the essay that came back with a disappointing mark. We will find out exactly where the marks went, and we will win them back together.
