Same here, in Examinations I either know the answer or I don't, there's no thinking required once you've prepared.sarahlouise210 wrote: »Just because someone starts to write straight away does not mean they have not thought about the question - I was always able to read the question and know straight away what was required for a good answer
Never once wrote an essay plan, because in my view, they restrict the writing.0 -
Most people have crammed all the information in night before, see the question and just regurgitate all the notes and textbook onto the page. I can write pages and pages in an hour, as you're supposed to.
Two sides wouldn't be enough, what are you, a dim wit?0 -

I've quite often started writing straight away in my recent university exams, although that's because the questions are engineering problems, and not necessarily essay based. Sometimes after reading the question you just know the answer/method to the answer straight away, and I like to get that written down asap to make sure it's done!
As people have said, you either know the answer or don't, but at least you can spend some more time working on questions that you are not sure about.
Get the ones done quickly/accurately that you know, then that leaves you more time to tackle the questions that need more thought.

if just scraping though at a 'pass' is good enough for you then fine.....
Exactly!
Passing something isnt difficult, even to pass an alevel little work is required. You want to be getting a DECENT grade.
Oh, and I write from the first second in every exam I take, and ive never failed one or been below average.. i think i just destroyed your theory:p0 -
