WRITING IN EXAM
-Shubham Ghimire
Give the examiners what they want
 your information is rarely new to the examiners;
 you are often required to display how much you know
 avoid jargon or inflated vocabulary that your readers will not
know or need.
 you are often expected to introduce specialist terminology in
order to demonstrate that you understand that terminology,
and can manipulate it accurately.
Simulating real life situations
 Focus on what you are asked to do & do it.
 Avoid ‘throat clearing’ beginnings.
Analysing the objective of the examination
 What examiners want
 write according to subject
 skills of organization and expression
 why you are being asked to write
Tactics for writing examination answers
 think carefully about the specialist content or analyse
aim
 analyze audience
 select and arrange appropriate material
 express chosen material accurately and readably
Examinations in Communication or Technical
Writing
 Plan
 penciled notes,
 timing,
 brief notes on subjects you are to discuss,
 select appropriate materials,
 build structured answer,
 write clearly and simply.
Examinations in English
 Questions on vocabulary and idiom- using words in sentences, meanings,
idiomatic phrase, refer to good dictionary, reading papers
 Questions that ask for a précis- retain the shape and emphasis of original, but
reduce it substantially, title, limited length, no comment, no added information,
summarize, reconstruction using basic materials from the old
 Questions that ask for an essay- ability to compose text, clear idea of topic,
accurate and truthful personal opinions, plan before writing, keep introduction
short, only relevant content, do not stray off the topic, revise and edit.
 Questions that ask for a report of direct speech- recording speaker’s exact
words within inverted commas, giving exact content of speaker’s remarks in indirect
or reported form
 Questions that ask for a letter or memorandum- organize information
coherently, express appropriately, conform to accepted conventions of layout.
Thank You!
