    In ReInk there is SWOT analysis in part a 20 marks and in the marking scheme there is 1 mark per point. This is too much generic, I get confuse what exactly 1 point is. In the answers I am able to identify almost 14 to 15 points in the answer but the question is of 20 marks.
    Like in Strength there is expertise, patent, location in Eland(2points)
    Same is the case in Weakness, Opportunities and Threat. In short each paragraph of answer I identify new 1 point. Can you clarify this please?

    The published marking schemes are very approximate and usually just say 1 mark per point even if the totals don’t reconcile. I think it is really more like 0.5 marks for identifying a point and 1 for explaining it fully.

    If you have a 20 mark question you should be writing for nearly 40 minutes and should produce at least 2.5 sides of writing. Concentrate on finding as much relevant to say as you can. Don’t simply have bullet points followed by a couple of words as that won’t explain anything.
