    Hello,

    When I see the marking schedules, I see up to 2 points are given for a relevant point raised.
    So can I plan my answers like if there is 8 points, and lets say question asks strength and weaknesses, I should plan as 2 strength, 2 weaknesses.

    Is that a risky approach? In case my points will not be relevant I might lose chance of passing. But on the other hand, time is really strict.

    That’s a reasonable budget. Note that of the assumed 2 marks only about 0.5 is available for identifying something relevant (eg a new competitor starting up) the remaining 1.5 marks are for explaining the implications of the issue (eg this will akela some of our market share and we need to work hard to retain as large a share as possible).
