folb695 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Would you write different lengths of 8 mark questions based on the command terms eg. outline vs explain.My policy is to divide the first half of the exam 20 mins per 8 mark and then the next hour for the 22 markWhat do you think/what are your strategies?Thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahad Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 It's not really about length. It's more about quality, really.For example, if you meet all the requirements in an 8 mark question, there's no point in continuing to write another paragraph of unnecessary information.However, your strategy is good and it is usually the recommended strategy.With me, i just do it lol. I don't pay much attention to such detail.I'll just start the exam and keep working until i finish without looking up and get it done on time.However, that's just the way i work. Everyone is different and if you are confident that your strategy works for you, go for it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
