1. What is a short answer?
The requirements of short answer questions are either to explain an idea, to explain a theory or to provide proof, but they are all systematic. It depends on different topics. Short answers generally need factual or descriptive answers, while argumentative papers need more analytical and creative content. The answers that can usually be used in short answer questions have the following characteristics: the contents that can be enumerated. For example, the main functions of various parts of the body, or the main components of a certain device. The main content of a theory and the reasons why this theory is important. Point out the source of the introduction in a paragraph and give reasons to prove its importance. The details of a simple experiment are not long enough to be a detailed answer. Details of a specific process. For example, how to control limbs, how to make chemicals in a specific environment, or how to solve a problem with rest. Similarities or differences between two groups that are often compared.
Second, how to get high marks by answering short answers?
1. A clear point of view
Usually, the scores required for short answer questions are fixed and can be counted. For example, the topic asks you to describe the functions of the heart or liver, and the number of these functions must be clear. In the review, the information corresponding to each question should be listed in the form of main points and numbered in sequence. These questions should be written on small cards respectively. Memorization is very useful for answering short answers. It can help you recall specific points and steps by designing a memory trigger point.
2. Know clearly what to ask.
When you are reviewing, please confirm the following points: check what to ask for each question, and if the question consists of several parts, make sure that you have answered all the parts. List the main points clearly and make each point obviously different from others. If necessary, you can re-create a sentence for each point instead of merging two points into one sentence. This will make it easier for the examiner to distinguish the key points you want to express and give the corresponding scores. Avoid merging several points into a complex answer. Avoid "redundancy" and don't deliberately stuff something in your answer to show that you seem to know a lot about the topic. Be concise, don't think that you should use some unnecessary content to make a short answer longer.
The short answer requires conciseness, and you can score by highlighting the key points of the answer.
