Are the Interpreting and Responding to Prose Extracts questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC English Language syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC English Language specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
