General tips •
•
•
•
•
Always write in clear paragraphs with a space between each paragraph
Return to the question half way through writing to ensure you are answering the question
Clear definitions are essential – definitions lacking detail will not be marked
Evaluation must counteract the argument
Ensure all diagrams are clearly and correctly labelled and explained
