text: 9. Use correct grammar and spelling. 
  
  This will contribute to the clarity of your answers, and will prevent the 
  person marking your paper from having to guess what you mean. 
  
  10. For longer questions and essay-style questions: plan your answers be- 
  
  fore you start writing. 
  This will help you to formulate logical arguments, as well as to structure 
  your answers clearly. In essay questions, you will get marks for using 
  the correct format, which includes making sure that you have an intro- 
  duction, sub-headings and paragraphs, and a conclusion. 
  
  11. Where relevant, give examples. 
  
  This will help to demonstrate that you understand the topic. 
  
  12. If you are writing an open-book exam, keep in mind that you won’t have 
  
  enough time to look up all the answers. 
  Make sure that you know your work, and that you know where to look 
  for key information. These types of exams are more focused on testing 
  your understanding than on testing your knowledge, which means that 
  you need to have a thorough grasp of the work. 
  
  13. If you have to answer multiple-choice questions, make sure that you read 
  
  the questions very carefully. 
  Try to think of the correct answer before you read through the options, 
  as you are less likely to become confused. When in doubt, go with your 
  first instinct. If there is more than one correct answer, go with the an- 
  swer that appears to be most correct.
