    Hi guys,

    I understand that 1/2 marks are awarded in the P7 exam.

    What can I do to convert a mere statement of fact into earning me at least 1/2 a mark in Question 1? And possibly in other questions too.

    I think this is one of my weaknesses, whereby I state the fact, but it doesn’t earn me the 1/2 mark that I expect.

    A few examples will help me.

    Regards
    Farhan

    How can you possibly even begin to conclude that?

    Maybe it’s more probable that you are simply not making enough statements – that’s a much more likely reason for you not achieving that 50% target

    Or possibly the statements that you are making are not targeting the question that is asked

    But to claim that your stated facts are not earning you a half mark is a sweeping assumption and, most probably, ill-considered
