Nearer The Exam Date... You know by now the exam paper is based on the syllabus and is divided into 3 parts, A is the forced answer section (multiple choice), B is a longer question section, and part C is an essay question section. For part B, the longer question section, there are a few pointers we can offer. Firstly, with each question or subdivision of a question, in the margin will be the marks allocated for that part. The higher the number of marks, the greater detail is required to get full marks. Understand the difference each type of question required. Questions that say ‘list’ require only a list (it might be 5 perennials, 5 annuals, etc). Don’t waste time adding detail, like colour, size of plant, etc. Just give the name of 5 correctly identified plants. Those that say ‘state’ require a sentence or two, for example; state the inputs and outputs of ‘photosynthesis.’ Instead of simply stating ‘carbon dioxide’, you can add this comes from the atmosphere and do this for each imput.
