The Do's and Don'ts
One Full Stop OnlyUse only one period at the very end. Two periods results in an automatic zero for the entire task.
Use Complex/Compound SentencesUse conjunctions (and, but, for) and relative pronouns (which, who, that) to link ideas.
Focus on the GistInclude the primary argument and essential supporting points only.
Proofread for PunctuationEnsure commas are used correctly and the first letter is capitalized.
Don't Include ExamplesSkip minor details, illustrative stories, and specific statistics that only support a minor point.
Don't Write Too MuchThe more you write, the higher the risk of a grammar error. Stay under 50 words for safety.
Don't Add Personal OpinionsOnly summarize what is in the text. No external information or personal views.
Don't Paraphrase Too LooselyUse synonyms for vocabulary range, but keep technical keywords accurate.

The 'KISS' Time Management Strategy
1
Skim & Scan (Minutes 1–2)
Identify the overall topic and locate the 2–3 most important sentences or keywords.
2
Drafting (Minutes 3–5)
Pick the main idea and one supporting point. Combine them using a template or connector.
3
Refining (Minutes 6–8)
Check your word count and ensure it flows as a single logical sentence.
4
Checking (Minutes 9–10)
Count your sentences (must be exactly 1). Check subject-verb agreement and spelling.
