    You can, in general, use your own words.

    However, if there are technical terms you should try to make those accurate. For example, the fundamental ethical principles: you should say ‘integrity’, not ‘honesty’ and ‘professional competence and due care’ rather than something like ‘professional ability and carefulness’.

    Sir, is it a requirement that we should study the entire ISA by-heart? The numbers and all by-heart?

    NO! There are no marks for quoting numbers and titles. You simply need to know the essence of what they say and understand why they are saying that.
