    Dear Sir,

    If the question states recommend one procedure, but if I know more procedures and have time, should I write 2 or 3?

    Becuase if I write one it might be wrong and I get now mark, but if I write 2 – 3, the examiner will give mark to the highest one?

    Same thing for control question, if question ask for 5 controls & tests, if i fnished the exam with say time to spare, i should write more controls? if this is indeed what the markers does, markes all and give mark for the best 5 , or only mark the first 5, then i would have done more for nothing.

    Thanks.

    If you are asked for three points and you give five, I think they stop reading after three, so you simply waste time writing more points and probably don’t have time to adequately explain the points you make.
