Q

Why is it that very knowledgeable candidates pass the more detailed Multiple Choice paper, and yet fail the more predictable written exam?

A

They don’t RFQ/AFQ - answer the question.
Key to written questions:
-Underline key words - if it asked to write about wine making, don’t write about vine growing.
-Descriptions are often not enough - an explanation is required. The ‘why’ .
-Remember Cause and Effect. Tell the full story.
-Only write what is relevant.
-Short concise answers that reflect the points available are better than unnecessarily long answers.
-See Study Guide example questions and answers.
-Can use bullet points.
-Spelling mistakes are forgiven.
