    Hello Sir, wanted you to shed light on the approach and structure towards answering questions in p3,

    1.what is the best way to go about tackling the information of the first question which spans 3 pages atleast much longer than p1 , how can we break it down?

    2.what is the structure, should we write in points or small paragraphs, and is there a need to define strategic models in the way like for example we did in p2 defining the whole standard?

    thanks

    First read the requirements to alert you as to what the question is about. Then read the question several times, making short notes in the margin. Makingnotes is better then underlining. Do, if you had to do a SWOT, mark S, W, O or T in the margin as you discover points that are relevant.

    Write small paragraphs of a couple of sentences each. That makes it easier for the market and because you are having to write a couple of sentences or so, it forces you to explain your points properly.

    You don’t need to explain or define models – that gains no marks (unless specifically asked). Go straight into using them to silve the question.
