    AS/A2 Physics Answers
    Do you guys put answers in bullet points or in sentence in exam?

    When i do my past paper and write in sentence i never seem to have enough time anyone know if we lose marks for not writing in sentence?

    I have looked through mark scheme but can't find anything about bullet points / full sentence.

    What i mean by bullet points is just writing the key words instead of sentence.. like they have in markscheme

    I think short key sentences are a good thing, but its better not to use actual real bullet points.

    i.e. its better to use short to the point sentence than a long protracted answer.

    Ofc the exception to this is if the question specifically states otherwise...

    Also avoid repeating the question in the answer. Many people waste time by doing that and gain no extra marks...

    These are my opinion, hope it helps

    You dont have to write in sentences.
    Just write in short to the poiont bits - you can leave out the bullet.

    Try and hit the marks on the mark scheme. Dont write essays.
