How would you structure your answer to a 5-mark question? (2024)

While it is important to make sure that you answer the question properly and get the full marks, you also have to be quick, concise and efficient given the tight time constraints in the exam. You should allocate yourself 5 minutes for the question: 1 minute to plan your answer and 4 minutes to write it. In order to 'tick the boxes' for the examiner, you need to give 2 developed points an an example in each point in order to have displayed your ability to analyse and apply your knowledge. Aim for a paragraph with 6-8 lines of writing. Remember not to spend too much time on your 5 marker though, as it is worth 12.5% of the marks for a section, and move on to your 10 marker if you spend 2 minutes more on it than you should.
