GCSE Mocks: how do I structure my answer?

13

Hi!

So basically, I am unsure if I should write my answers in my mocks in full sentences or bullet points? I have teacher who told me to write in sentences and another in bullet points. I don't know which one is better since bullet points says time but my other teachers says sentences provides more structure!

Could someone please help :smile:

Also, please don't judge- it's a bit of a dumb question lol

Thanks and have a great evening!

I think it really depends on the subject!! Obviously don't do bullet points for English and other essay subjects but for sciences bullet points should be fine. What subjects are you particularly worried about?

Science because I keep being told to do bullet points and sentences - I don't know which one is it lol. Also, for computer science, because I was told sentences but then another teacher was like no I should do bullet points as that is what it is the markscheme. Thanks for the reply by the way!!

I know for OCR sciences they're aren't assessing you on the way you write so my teachers said that bullets points were definitely okay- though you don't have to do bullet points, if you prefer sentences go for that. Some may prefer bullet points because they can help you remain concise and hit those marking points.
I didn't do computer science GCSE so I'm not too sure about that, sorry, but hopefully someone else can clear that up for you!
Good luck!
