    Whether you can do well, depends very much on HOW good you can write. That means you must convince the marker that you know what you are talking about and you are CONVICTED. No answers will come just by straight memory. Are you convinced by what you write? If you are not, then the marker will know that. You will probably get a not so convincing mark. So be convicted by what you write. Memory is always good. Because without content, there is nothing to convince with. Bottom linestudy your text, make notes. Dont forget to ask yourself questionsTo what extent? How far is this possible? Is this the best solution? Is this the most serious consequence. We cannot study blindly. We must have the questions in mind. Enjoy the process!
