    Hello

    I am kinda frustrated by the length of the suggested answer.

    When i time myself, i tend not to give very detailed answer like suggested answer because of time pressure with many other requirements to do.

    Do examiners expect this? Am just worrying about not getting a mark for short answers provided…

    If you look at the sticky posts at the top of this forum you will see “Read the mind of an AAA marker – ESSENTIAL READING”. If you attempt the Qs highlighted in that article (they are linked) you should be able to mark your attempt using the additional guidance provided in that article.

    Published answers are necessarily comprehensive – they are not indicative of what is a pass answer (the article will show you pass-worthy scripts which are much shorter). The “secret” to success is quality not quantity (as I like to say “Think MORE – write LESS”) – a prize-winning script will not fill an answer booklet.
