In regards to data analysis questions, where a graph or some data is provided, is there any specific way to structure your answer? especially when it comes to identifying 2 or 3 trends and justifying each trend with data, my answers just become too long
What i used to say is compare using a
'higher/lower' word then give the
stats. Always got full marks. If it's worth two marks, i would put two trends just to make sure you get full marks for that answer
EG: The life expectancy of women in Japan is
higher than that of women in Australia with a life expectancy of
84 years in Japan and
82 years in Australia.
Alternatively, the life expectancy of women in Australia is
lower than that of Japan with respectable ages of
82 and 84 years.
Also while talking about this, if you were reading off a graph, ensure to put the full numerical value for example per 100,000 as in an exam you would not get the marks
