Tips to attempt a question on report writing

i.Make sure you use language which is suitable for the audience you are addressing to. Usage of complex

vocabulary for addressing children is not advisable.

ii.Make sure you write in paragraphs.

iii.Practice previous year question papers.

iv.Read as many samples as you can. It will give you an idea as to how they are actually written.

v.Read the question at least twice and highlight the important information. It is very important to

understand the question and read between the lines. Albert Einstein once said,

"If you can't explain it simply, you didn't understand it well enough."

i.Plan before you pen. Just make a list of all your important points on the rough sheet (last sheet of your

answer booklet) so that you do not forget relevant points while writing. This also helps you in

maintaining a sequence, which is very important.

ii.Presentation is very important.

iii.Make sure you double check for grammatical accuracy and spellings. They carry marks.

iv.Leave adequate number of lines between paragraphs to make it look clean.

v.Underlining the main points is very important. But it is advised to do it after finishing your exam. Use a

pencil and scale for underlining.

vi.Make small sentences. It restricts the scope of grammatical inaccuracies.
