HOW TO APPROACH THE QUESTIONS
Read through all questions carefully
Note on paper initial thoughts
You don’t have to answer them in the order that
you read them• Allocate your time where you will get the most
marks first.• If that is extended response section (section 3) then
start there
Make sure your hand writing is legible (able to be
read)
Know your process verbs

MULTIPLE CHOICEEliminate the obviously wrong answers
This helps to narrow the choice if you are unsure
Reread the wording of the question• There is always a very specific answer as the question will
the tailored in a really specific way
If in doubt always answer something – you have a 1 in 4
chance of getting it right
If you make a mistake put a big cross through the incorrect
letter and shade/select another
If you think it could be misunderstood draw an arrow
stating “error” to avoid confusion

If using stimulus material make sure you use that information in
your response

space
Use all of the writing space provided – it is a clue to how long your
answer should be
Use bullet points to answer – this is not an English essay – its
about business facts
Use headings if e.g. asked to discuss then have a heading ‘for’ &
‘against’
