hey, i have a very important question. In the p3 exam i have notice there is one mark for a point. it can seems a challenge coming up with lets say 15 points per a part question. therefore, how should we go about making our points in the exam and writing them.
e.g; if a question ask u how can a process be made better, do we simply state all the ways we think (which may be less that 16) or do we first state what the current problem is and then state our solution? (will we got 1 mark for stating the potential problem and a solution?)
thanks

It depends a little on the wording of the question. If you are just asked to list or identify, answers can be shorter. Explain, assess or evaluate usually mean longer answers.
If I were being asked to improve a process, I think I would start by briefly stating what the current problem is then describing my suggestion for improvement
