    Hello Sir!

    Firstly, I would like to thank you a lot for answering my daily queries and for wonderful, well explained lectures.

    The exam went okay (in my opinion), meaning half good and half bad (maybe due to my inappropriate writing skills for theory part).

    Yes, that’s the reason I’m writing to you. That is, I managed my time well, could attempt all questions but unfortunately I’m worried about how my answers would be marked. Because I have seen that the examiner writes plenty much to explain, while I could write maybe 2 paragraphs or less.

    And,looking at the students’ comments make me scared. They have different opinions & answers than mine.

    So I would like you to please give me some words of encouragement about passing it with flying colours. I hope we (my fellow students in the world and I) could pass it with flying colours.

    Thank you Sir.

    Thank you for your comments.

    The examiner always writes a lot more than he expects students to write – it is because he knows that people learn from his answers. Also, many times he will only be expecting you to make maybe 2 or 3 points, but because there are often lots of points that could be made he makes all of them in his answers.

    You will get credit for whatever you wrote (assuming it was relevant obviously). As to how much you needed to write to get all of the marks depends on how many marks were allocated for that part of the question – it is was only 5 marks then you would not be expected to write much, if it was 15 marks then obviously he would be expecting more.
