This assessment domain evaluates the candidate's ability to structure extended responses with logical coherence and cohesion, a critical differentiator in higher-tier marking bands. It encompasses the effective deployment of discourse markers to signal progression, the grouping of related ideas into distinct paragraphs, and adherence to the structural conventions of specific text types. Mastery requires moving beyond linear, list-like narratives to complex, non-sequential argumentation where structure supports the development of ideas.
