How to effectively answer questions in your exam?


I’m usually write paragraphs in the answer script, but the lecture told us the art of writing in the examination. The better method is point by point writing with an example. So it can help to show our arguments properly, and examiner will never miss your valuable points. I try this method in P3W in course examination; I think I’m successful in that occasion.
