PAPER 2 TIPS

In essay question paper 2 section B and C, the question will provide you with a table of comparison. For example, if the will question ask you to choose a material from a table to build an electric kettle….then you are asked to choose the most suitable material.

Example:

Kettle	The characteristics of the materials are used in the heating element in the kettle
Kettle	Boiling point / 0C	Resistivity / 10-8 Wm
W	3501	13.5
X	1085	5.2

To score this section it’s easier if you to answer it by making a table of comparison like this:

Suitable Characteristic	Reason
High Boiling Point (1 mark)	Not easily melt (1 mark)
High Resistivity (1 mark)	It can produce more heat ( 1 mark)

Then you’ll choose which one is the most suitable and repeat its suitable characteristic.

Example:
Kettle W is most suitable coz it has high boiling point & high resistivity. [2 marks]

If you answer in table form, you are more focused and will go straight to the point.
Otherwise if you choose to write like typical english essay... there's a tendency for you to repeat the points.
