Hi

If you are asked to write a practical, do you write in first-person or third-person?

Also, are you writing answers in bullet points or complete sentences?

Thanks.

I understand bullet points are fine for marks up to 5. For 6 marks and over full sentences are better to get Quality of Written Communication marks.
Thanks.

guys i need advice asap, i left paper 3 past papers until too late, i mean i like to think i have okay background knowledge but my exam technique needs refining. should i give up attempting past papers first, and do flashcards by going straight to mark scheme answers instead, or attempt the past papers first and then mark them. i am quite short on time and i think the flashcard method would be fastest but what do u think would be more effective
