When comparing two sources for SEC G3 History K330, choose one point that both sources address. State how they agree or differ on that point, then support the comparison with evidence from each. Two accurate summaries can leave the reader guessing how the sources relate.
SEAB’s 2027 school-candidate directory identifies History as K330 and marks it as an e-Examination subject. Practise writing the relationship in a concise sentence before adding evidence. Use your school’s practice environment to get comfortable finding the source and returning to your answer.
- Identify the issue the question asks about.
- Find a statement or implication in each source about that issue.
- Explain the relationship between the two pieces of evidence.
- Add a second comparison only if it addresses the task.

Turn two observations into one comparison
Suppose one source describes a policy as popular because households benefit, while another calls it expensive for small businesses. Both sources discuss the policy, but they discuss its effects on different groups. Before saying they disagree, look for a point both actually address. The claims might both be true.
A useful comparison names the subject of agreement or disagreement. For example, ask whether both sources think the policy should be introduced immediately, or whether both discuss its effect on the same group. Let the evidence determine the answer.

Worked example | Support for a plan, disagreement about timing
Imagine two fictional extracts about rebuilding a market. A merchants’ committee supports rebuilding immediately because damaged stalls are already reducing trade. A council member supports rebuilding but argues for delaying the work until after a festival so stallholders can keep trading.
Both support rebuilding the market. They disagree on when it should begin. The committee treats lost trade as a reason to start now, while the council member sees the festival as a reason to wait. The comparison works because each part addresses a clear issue and uses evidence from both sources.

Check your paragraph before moving on
Reread your first sentence and underline the point it compares. Then check the evidence from each source. If one piece of evidence concerns cost and the other concerns timing, either make the connection explicit or choose a stronger pair. When typing, use clear source labels so the reader can trace each piece of evidence.
