What is the bullet points are a checklist?Show answer
The task usually gives you two or three bullet points telling you what to include. Treat them as a checklist: every bullet point must be answered somewhere in your response. Tick each one off as you write. Missing a bullet point is one of the easiest ways to lose marks, and it is completely avoidable.
What is reword, do not copy?Show answer
Copying the stimulus word for word scores poorly because it shows no language skill. Instead, put the details into your own full sentences and link them together. Turn a list ("kayaking, cooking, art") into flowing prose ("There is plenty to do, from kayaking to cooking and even an art class"). This shows you can handle the information, not just copy it.
