Writing in an exam

When writing your answers, make it easy for the examiner to understand your thought process. Examiners look for concise, readable, well-presented work that answers the question. Short sentences are best. Use simple words. Using long words inappropriately or words that you don't fully understand will not impress the marker. It will give the impression you are trying to bluff your way through. Marks will be lost accordingly.
Go for simplicity of wording and shorter sentences.
Make sure your handwriting is easy to read.
