Technique of SBL Answer

ASalawi sayed5mo ago
Hello Sir, What would the best technique in answering SBL questions. Will the following be a good technique: -Read the task one by one to have a picture about the appropriate exhibit that must be used to answer the question. -Read the exhibits one by one and simultaneously copy the important points from exhibit to the response word. - noting the the time required to answer each question and putting a time limit for each question based on the marks *1.8 minutes. -Elaborate the notes previously copied to the response word page. -sticking to the time limit of the question. -If any spare time available go back to any left unanswered parts of the question to complete. Is that okay .Please tell me if you have any better methodology to the answer. Thanks.

The bit I worry about is "...simultaneously copy the important points from exhibit to the response word.". You will attract very few marks for copy and paste. You have to move forward from the question to a solution. O viously, what is said in an exhibit is important, but you have to react to that, use it, make comments on it. If the exhibit said "Sales have fallen by 25% in 2026" Yyou get nothing by saying that again in your answer. Instead say "The steep (25%) fall in sales will put pressure on xash flow". You could say "Sales have fallen by 25% and this will put pressure on cash flow". Either way, you are making an interpretation and really using the information.
