    Dear Ken,

    As you told me before that for a 10 marks question, we have to write 1.25 pages…

    I have 2 questions to ask from you :

    1. how many lines should we write for a defining a specific model (Let say), exam requirement asks for PESTEL?

    2. As you said that, at least 1.25 pages for a 10 marks question, what If I think that all of the relevant points are written (during the exam), and NO other points coming up in mind and that took me at least one page to complete for a 10 marks question ? then what to do ?

    1.25 is only a rough guide. Many candidates write answers that are far too brief. You have to try provide enough in an answer to a 10 mark question to allow 10 marks to be awarded. Half a page won’t do that.

    Obviously when you think you can’t write more, stop. But if you end up with half a page it miht mean that you have not explained your points in enough detail.

    Do not write anything to define/explain a model (unless specifically asked to – unlikely). If asked to use PESTEL apply it immediately and do not waste time on explanations.
