Present your answers in a manner that appeals to the examiner. Underline the key words to highlight the value points.
Choose to attempt any section but bear in mind that all questions of a particular section need to be written together.
In the “reading” section for a 1 mark question, even if the answer is one or two words, write it in a complete sentence. Elaborate the answers a little more for 2 marks questions.
When attempting comprehension DO NOT copy/paste the entire chunk of related text. Frame your own answers from the context.
In the “writing” section follow CODER (Compose-Organize-Draft-Edit-Rewrite). Alternatively you can present the problem, the causes, the effects, and the possible solutions sequentially.
Practicing grammar not just helps in the grammar section but also in the language used in the entire paper.
