    hi there,
    In p2 part B,as i know to get the full marks in each part of a question we have to write the number of points that is equal to the number of marks available.For example 5 marks= 5 point.

    My question is,if i write 7 good points in 7 sentences(assuming total mark is 7),will i get full marks or i will have to explain each point?

    That really depends upon the verb that the examiner has used. Where the question asks you to “identify and explain”, then there’s probably half a mark for identifying and 1 / 1.5 marks for the explanation

    However, if the requirement is “briefly identify” then there’s only a mark for a brief identification with nothing for a fuller explanation.

    PAY GREAT ATTENTION TO THE VERBS!

    Ok?
