Hi everyone
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me clear my doubt about some exam tips I have heard.
1. While answering a theory paper , it is beneficial to answer in point form, however if we answer in paragraph for few questions, can a student underline the important parts or words in the paragraph with pencil to attract the examiners attention?
Will this help me sucure more marks or is it not allowed?
2. I had heard a tip that we should attempt the question ( from 1-7 ) which we know the best first, to help us to get good marks so that examiner is impressed at first shot. So if I know question 4 the best, can I attempt it first on my answer sheet or should I attempt question 1-7 in order?
I am an ipcc student, attempting my group 2 in may 2015 attempt. Your help would be really appreciated.
Thanks ?

Dear friend , each paper should see in different angle and present in different . As you asked , we can't write all the questions in point to point base. If it is a points based one , you can other wise form it in to a good structured paragraph.
Regarding order of questions to be attended , write the one you know very well. Remember don't shuffle among questions ie. try to write sub questions at a stretch . You can shuffle among main questions 1-7. Write question no at the middle and fully write as ' Question no...'.
write sub questions in margin and write what is asked as head to the answer. Start new questions in fresh paper ( among 1-7)
Underline important points if writing in paragraphs.
From my experience , presentation decides your mark. Plan well. All the best
