Students often confuse complex sentence structures with long sentences. To Score well in the exam, keep your sentences short, grammatically accurate and concise. Doing this and linking your sentences effectively using cohesive phrases will give your writing the complexity it needs to score well. Further Task 2 make up roughly two thirds of the marks so Task 2 must be given priority over task 1. Prepare ideas, opinions and good vocabulary for different topics.

Students appearing for general module find the writing exam tough, and invariably get a low band. One reason is that they have failed to answer the question appropriately. It is imperative to realize that your knowledge is not getting tested; it is your English writing skills that are being tested. In order to improve your writing band, you have to make sure that you read the topic carefully and answer appropriately. For example, if the topic is, ‘suggest solutions to problems faced by the elderly’, you should focus only on writing about ‘solutions to problems faced by the elderly’, not on your knowledge of the problems and challenges the elderly face in the society. Stay focused and ‘to the point’ and you will score more. Thanks, V Bhanot
