    Dear Lecturer

    I always read on the textbook that in order to pass you must plan your answer.This exam is time pressured hence by planning what exactly do they mean planning your answer?

    I got so confused how does one have to plan for the answer . May you please assist by an illustration .I am really confused when they mentioned plan your answer.

    Please help Lecturer

    Thanks

    Firstly, there is no requirement the actual exam to plan your answer.

    All the textbook means is that it is a good idea to think about what you intend to write and make a plan by listing the important things you are going to mention, before actually writing out a full answer.
    That is better than just writing without thinking and risk missing things out.
