Scanning for specific information

    AQA
    GCSE

    Candidates must demonstrate the capacity to rapidly filter target language texts to isolate specific data points such as temporal markers, quantities, or proper nouns. This skill demands the rejection of irrelevant information and the ability to navigate distracters, negatives, and qualifiers that modify the meaning of key lexical items. Success relies on the recognition of synonyms, paraphrasing, and grammatical cues rather than mere word-matching to retrieve accurate factual details.
