Fun to see the questions, but I would love even more to read the essays they got along with the mark scheme/examiner's comments.

What is they are looking for? And what in their eyes makes a good answer? That would be interesting for me to see and helpful in terms of developing my own thinking.

I tried explaining on this forum recently that education is not training for a job. The questions and, I hope, the answers are evidence of that.
For me it's less about training for a job, and more just curiosity - what makes one answer to these questions better than another? I wonder what criteria they use and knowing that criteria would be helpful to me when looking to develop my own thinking.
Yes why are these not published in a nice book? I would love to read these too!
I'm interested in understanding whether they're looking for two essays or six. Is each essay supposed to weave together three quotes?
Each essay should be written independently of the others, as I understand it. I wouldn't try and weave them together.
6, 3 from each paper
