    Hello,

    Hope you are well. First of all thank you so much for maintaining this forum and replying to our questions.

    I am having trouble with trying to figure out the number of points that is required for the question.
    For example, if we have a 6 marks question in Section B, how will I able to judge if the examiner is looking for 3 points (2 marks each) or 6 points (1 mark each)?

    For another instance, let’s say the question asks us to design the procedures relating to xxxx with 7 marks in total, how can I differentiate whether to write 4 points with longer explanation or 7 short points?

    Many thanks!
