Can we answer longer Q's (5 to 7 marks) with relatively detailed dot points.
Would this lower my marks at all if I didn't structure a response?
Thanks

Dot pts are fine, do-able, my teachers for chem and physix said that ur allowed to do that. Sometimes for 5 mark questions theres 5 things to list, or 2 things with descriptions, and an evaluation of significance or something. Doing in dot pts is perfectly fine, easier to write plus easier for the marker to mark it.

The format is not a problem. Tables and diagrams are encouraged. They are not after essays.

The most important thnig is you address all parts of the question, including the links between the sections.
