Before you start writing, read all the questions first and make notes beside each. For each question, identify the type, skills being tested, and use appropriate source recall. Avoid writing out the question, being a robot, or copying large sections. Make sure your answers are clear, with good handwriting and simple sentences. Manage time effectively and avoid slang or abbreviations.
