Format based strategy

I used these formats to score an A* (92 PUM) in my FLE Board

Summary
Sample Perfect Scoring Summary

The format I used/kept in mind for boards to always ensure being under the world limit.
1. Use cause + consequence to gain two points in one sentence.
2. Remember a variety of conjunctions and sentence structures to get the quality marks as
well.
3. Always proofread after writing a summary and strike off unnecessary words. (it helps
gains you marks)
4. In the first sentence of the summary, start by stating a point then connect it to the
question keyword (Examiners really seem to like this starter for some reason).
a. You could do it vice versa as well, just make sure to hit the question keyboard
right in the first line.
5. Then just keep stating cause+consequence.
a. Use the below format for reference.

_ is _,
_.
As a result, _
even if _.

Not only _
