Ag science - Bullet points or paragraphs?

Denis322

For subjects such as business and economics, most of what I write is bullet points. I find it far better and it's a much clearer way of getting what you want across, you either know it or you don't, there's no bullsh*tting your way through it, and it usually gets me high enough marks. My Ag science teacher told the class recently though that some people did this in the mocks, and he wouldn't recommend it. He says that the examiners correcting the papers are teachers, and may be set in their ways about what they want, and they may not like it if you use bullet points instead of writing paragraphs.

I still managed to get a B1 in the mocks(hoping for an A in the real thing) using bullet points and was wondering if this is true? The way I see it is if you know your stuff then it would make life a lot easier for the examiner to see exactly the points you're making, and doesn't have to read through whole paragraphs picking out relevant info.

I'm typing the leaving btw so it should make it easier still to make everything out.

Bullet points only. Sure look at the marking scheme... How annoyed would a correcter be reading through reams of stuff to find just two words just for 4 marks!.... very is the answer!
