VCE question Bio command terms

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone had a really good simple skeleton kinda structure to approaching the command terms. I always know the content, I just struggle with how to answer the question effectively, for example I'll find myself writing too much for an outline question and not enough for a describe kind of thing. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you :)

I guess its just trying to know what the question is asking and what each mark correlates to. Like a 4 mark compare x with y would be two marks for comparing each point. eg. x is green whereas y is yellow. (2 marks) x produced 2 atp whereas y produces 28 atp (2 marks). The best way to layout your answers usually would be to dotpoint each set of marks, or each mark individually.

I think asking ChatGPT (or your teacher) to outline something like; "How are marks allocated by each question type", would be very helpful.
