Always answer the question!!

Comments

In answering any SEQ or SBQ, give the examiner what he wants - an answer that addresses the question. One simple way of doing this is NOT to spit out your notes but to USE key words from the question in your answer to show that you are addressing the question and then in YOUR PLAN adjust the knowledge you have penned down into your draft before forming paragraphs.


For example:
Membership in regional organisations is one of the best ways for Singapore to conduct diplomacy. EYA.

Ans:
One of the best ways to conduct diplomacy for Singapore is membership in regional organisations. One such exmaple would be Singapore's membership in ASEAN.......


See? I am using the words from the question in my answer and showing that I understand the question and am addressing it.
