    Hi Mike,

    Hope you doing well.

    I noted that we need to prepare an Answer Plan in each question and separate the plan from the answer by a line across the page. I also noted in BPP answer there is always marking scheme for each question. So, can we present the answer plan like a marking scheme?

    Thank you so much.

    I’m not really sure how you mean even though I am familiar with the BPP answer presentation

    If I have understood you correctly then, yes, I suppose an answer plan could come out looking like a BPP marking scheme

    OK?

    Dear tutor,

    Is it prerequisite in order to pass the exams in P7 to prepare an answer plan?
    May we did it and not present it to the examiner only for keep our answer structured?

    Thank you,

    Why would you do it and not want to present it to the examiner!

    The marker WANTS to see an answer plan. Why keep it secret?

    OK?

    Hello Mike,

    little help here. I didn’t hear about this answer plan making. Is it an exam requirement. Will it be marked ? Where can i read about it ?

    Do you simply mean making proper headings and all that ?

    Take the number of marks in a question or part question

    Divide by 2 and that’s the number of minutes that you spend planning what you are going to write

    And that means that you only have 1 minute 18 seconds to write one sentence that will earn you one mark

    Read my long response to Uahmed in the thread titled “Next step” to give you an idea of how to tackle the problem of answer planning

    OK?
