This exam demands complex concepts to be explained in simple language. The main focus should be to craft answers which will articulate the message in the best possible manner.
Brief introductions: The ‘introduction’ part of the answer should be kept crisp and to-the-point. Remember, it is meant to give the reader a glimpse of the answer and not the whole story. It is highly recommended that the candidate write a brief background on the theme of discussion. It is best kept when kept short.
