In what kind of questions do we need to provide real life example to gain full marks?
It's all over now..

Most of the time you're using the case-study as the example. I actually found very few opportunities to use any real life examples and kind of had to force them in, but you'd use them in indirect questions. For example, I used mine in definition questions where they don't ask you things directly about the case study. Not sure what happens now with the new study design.

Yea for definition questions I think if your explanation is not 100%, then by providing a strong example the assessor will see that you know the concept but rather just messed it up and they may award you full marks

Also I think Kotter's 8 steps may require you to know a fully in depth analysis of an LSO's change process

Might also need to know an act of social responsibility seen by an LSO too

The bloke at the lecture I went to said that with definition questions, if you're not entirely sure of your definition, throw an example in to illustrate your knowledge. Assessors look for "depth of knowledge" according to him, not just prepared answers that skim over the concepts.
