How to answer questions to get a full score

[peachesxo]

Hey all!
well i recently learned that you can't get a high score if you just memories definitions and understand them into depth, .You have to be able to answer the questions properly and since there aren't many resources available on the net i really need tips on how to tackle questions and get the full score.
thanks in advance

This is true for Psychology also.

I don't know about HHD but you must link everything back to the scenario and it's apparently better to answer in dot points.

if you answer in dot points do you answer in brief?
and is this applicable to all questions even does that require you to explain and to describe??

Don't answer in dot points! I know for PE you aren't allowed to do this, and I'm assuming that Health would be similar.
Depends on the question though, as Health as a huge variety of questions, do write definitions for when its relevant and relate it back to the question afterwards with the information as examples to clearly state your point - use information in the graphs and so on. For both Health and PE you really do need to memorise a lot of information in order to answer these perfectly (as well as practice!)

you can answer in dot points.

I would not recommend answering in dot points unless the question is like "list 2 ways blah blah blah" as the marker may assume you are not explaining in depth and linking concepts (for bio at least, every subject is different)

Dot-points is actually better than large paras (especially for bio). Advantages of dot-points:
- makes easier reading for examiner(s)
- makes it easier for examiner(s) to 'tick boxes' for the points they are looking for
- prevents 'memory dumping' useless/unnecessary information on a question
- keeps answers concise and saves time
