    If a question has asked me about 5 points only but I write 7 or 8 with 2 of them being wrong.
    Will get the full 5 marks or 2 or 3 ?

    You will get full marks but remember you have probably overrun your time allocation and if you continue this strategy you will run out of time in the end and probably fail.

    It’s better to focus on solid 5 points and score say 4/5 than overrun your time allocation (and you will do it when you write 7-8 points).
