Key exam techniques Section C

• Write the topic next to each question

• Read the question carefully and highlight the keywords

• Make sure you are labelling your answers carefully as you go, i.e. 1(a)(i)

• Although the section is called ‘Long Questions’, this doesn’t mean you need to provide long answers

● Use bullet points

● Keep answers concise and to the point

● Don’t write paragraphs as you are more likely to make mistakes

● Start each question on a new page

● Give yourself plenty of space between each part of a question so you can go back and make any changes

● Do not correct any mistakes using tippex or scribbling, one line through the incorrect answer is enough

• You can be asked to draw diagrams in this section

● Diagrams should be drawn clearly in pencil

● Use at least half a page for diagrams so you can label them clearly

● Use a biro to include as many labels as possible

● Only include a diagram if they specifical­ly ask for one in the question

● If using a diagram to help explain your answer, you must include bullet points in your answer as well to ensure full marks.
