    Dear Sir,

    I struggle with time management and have had marginal fails in P5.

    If a question has 15 marks, do I have to come up with 15 points or should I strive for at least 10 points with good explanation. The question is do I have to use the marks as a guide to the number of points needed for the answer?

    Thanks in advance.

    It is more important to have good explanations. For 15 marks you should be writing about 2 pages, so I don’t think you would aim for more than 8 good points, well explained
