    Usually for section b in mixed transactional, when we state definitions, criteria etc, those information in the textbook ( not application to the question)

    How much marks can we obtain form each question 2 and 3 ? Just from information from textbook, not application marks

    Hi,

    You won’t score many marks for just writing out the rules, you need to apply them to the specifics within the question.

    Don’t worry about how many marks you get for writing the rules out, focus on understanding the specific treatment within the question.

    Thanks

    But then whenever we start section b questions, we must begin with stating the definition, criteria for recognition and measurement right ?

    Hi,

    The exam is not a test of if you can remember and write out the rules, it is a test of the application of those rules. I therefore do not recommend that you write out the rules at the start of the question.

    Have you looked at the two questions that have been worked through in the revision section?

    Thanks

    1. But BPP revision kit tutorial note states rhat best way to start question is by writing definitions, criteria that is relevant to question

    2. So all the marks are allocated just solely in appication of knowledge ?

    2. so all the marks are allocated solely in application ? ( not even a few for knowledge ? )

    3. so write out the rules while applying to the answers that are applicable ?
