These Ranking & Justify Grid worksheets are designed to help students develop higher-order thinking, critical evaluation, and justification skills — essential for success in GCSE assessments.

Each worksheet presents students with a relevant scenario or big question based on a real exam board specification point. Students are asked to rank key concepts, events, beliefs, processes or case studies and then justify their top choices using subject-specific knowledge. An optional extension task pushes students to reflect, evaluate alternatives, or consider different viewpoints.
