would like the opinion of OT Admin and other students on this and exactly where to use it.
1. What is the best way for planning an answer, has anyone got an example to elaborate the mechanisms?
2. Should the plan be written separatly may be on the back of the question paper or on top of each answer in the Answer Booklet?
3. Can a diagram be used instead of, say, a list?
4. It’s nothing bad if it is included in the answer is it? I mean do the markers look at it and if they do is this a positive thing or not?Thanks in advance.
Ideally, it’s 10 separate words to remind you about what to say when you start to fill oout your answer in sentence form, but 10 phrases, or (very) short sentences are sufficient.
write some of the plans in the q paper during the 15 minutes reading time, but then write them again at the top of every answer in the answer booklet
yes, a diagram is fine
A plan is very much a positive thing – it shows professionalism and control – a well structured answer is going to impress a marker much more than a disjointed collection of rambling thoughts
Do you actually get marks for your answer plan?
I ask because i’ve attempted 2 questions where I put a plan in, but then in 1 instance, i forgot to include a part of my plan in the actual answer, and in another instance, my plan made reference to a case, which was correct, but when i came to write the answer, I wasn’t sure, so I included another case name, which turned out to be incorrect, so will the marker give me a mark for including the correct case name in the plan?
A correct case name shoud score a mark – an incorrect one should NOT lose you a mark. Leave your plan, on the answer booklet, at the top of your answer and DO NOT cross it out
