Top dos and don’ts for Industrial Technology

• Actively respond to the question: Identify keywords in the question. Use these to help frame your response and ensure you’re addressing exactly what’s being asked.
• Demonstrate a clear understanding: Make every sentence count – being clear and concise is just as important as the content.
• Use your reading time strategically: Make mental notes of questions you feel confident about and answer these questions first or jot down your ideas when reading time ends.
• Don’t dwell on questions you find difficult: Move on and return to them later with a fresh perspective so you can manage your time effectively.
• Don’t delay writing if you already have ideas: Answer while you are thinking clearly. You may not have time or recall the same ideas later in the exam.
