How do I stop waffling in Exams

Idk about IT but in physics I find that it's okay to waffle to some extent. I usually write more than necessary in exams to make sure than I cover all points and it works. They can't really mark you down for writing too much. As long as your points aren't contradictory of course.

I always struggle with the same thing haha. Maybe try reading a load of mark schemes to get familiar with what they want as most of the time its pretty generic??

I tried that, but i just get bored looking at them for too long.

I would advise looking at, for example, CGP revision books for different descriptions/answers to the same question. CGP often condense their answers into a concise sentence that accurately describes the point. Alternative solutions would be looking at how others would answer that question, perhaps looking at alternative answers.

maybe try doing a few a day or just doing the long answer questions or the ones that you know require certain language. Like ignore the 1 and 2 markers because they normally dont require specifics?

Thanks! Where can I find these?

On their website:
https://www.cgpbooks.co.uk/secondary-books/science?sort=best_selling&quantity=36&page=1&view=grid&currentFilter=Subject_9&filter_key%20stage=KeyStage_270&filter_subject=Subject_38%2CSubject_865%2CSubject_42%2CSubject_655

These are all the Physics books for A-level, including Revision Guide and Textbook. Textbooks are the long text-based books, while the revision guides are short and straight to the point.

waffle normally comes from a lose understanding, you know roughly what you want to talk about but don’t have an intricate enough understanding to hit the nail on the head, hence you waffle on in desperation to put down what the mark scheme wants.

In other words, you probably need to sharpen up your understanding of the syllabus & practice more.

Also, if you are looking primarily for questions and answers, perhaps you might want to look at their Workbooks.
The workbook has lots of questions in Physics, with the answers on the last page. You can compare your answers to their answers, to help formulate and reduce your waffle.

Not really like that with me. I do know what i'm talking about, but I just can't explain it properly without spending ages making sure the person reading it understands. I do that even verbally. I will however take your ideas on board, thank you.
