Hi Mike , For written question can you write your answer on a point by point basis rather than a paragraph basis? Is there any advantages or disadvantages ?? How much should we write for one mark in a written answer??? Regards Sid

Bullet point answers do not sit well with either examiners or markers. Your answer should be in proper sentences How much to write for one mark? Follow these instructions now! 1 - get a sheet of paper, a pen, a stopwatch / timer and a book (any book) in front of you and don't read point number 2 until you have these four items 2 - you cheated! Now go and get the sheet of paper, the pen, the timer and a book and don't read the next point until you have those four items 3 - open the book - anywhere. 4 - set the timer for 1 minute 18 seconds 5 - copy (copy, don't read, just copy) from the book for 1 minute 18 seconds 6 - stop How much should you write for one mark? That's how much you should be writing MAXIMUM for a paragraph / for a mark Ok?
