Correct way of writing answers in answer sheet.

It is becoming noticeable in the scripts that there is a significant number of candidates who are answering the questions in any order and even split up individual questions, answering the first part in one part of the paper and the other parts somewhere else. The candidates concerned are invariably weaker candidates who should benefit from the flow through the paper (particularly where the questions are linked by the scenario) and particularly from one part of a question to the next.

CIE Reporting System for Answer Sheets' Checking.

Exams and tests later prove that the overall understanding of students increases manifold due to this strategy .
