FOCUS IS ON WRITING PLANNING
WHY PLAN? CAN DO IT OF THE CUFF, RIGHT? I ALREADY KNOW WHAT I WANT TO SAY. PLANNING TAKES TIME AND IN AN EXAM SITUATION YOU ONLY GET A SPECIFIED AMOUNT.
BUT
LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT. SO IF IT COMES STRAIGHT OUT OF YOUR BRAIN DOWN YOUR ARM ONTO THE PAGE AND THEN INTO THE EYES OF THE EXAMINER AND INTO THAT BRAIN FOR JUDGEMENT THEN WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
THE THING IS THIS, IF YOU MAKE A LITTLE TINY PLAN THEN MAYBE YOUR BRAIN WILL ENGAGE IN THE TASK A LITTLE BIT MORE AND MAYBE PRODUCE 2 OR 3 MAYBE 4 0R 5 EXTRA POINTS TO MAKE THAT IT HADN'T CONSIDERED. AND NOW THAT YOU CAN SEE THEM AND ORGANISE THEM POSSIBLY A FEW MORE THINGS WILL COME OUT AND GET ORGANISED TOO. AND MAYBE THAT LITTLE TINY EXTRA BIT OF TIME, SAY 4 MINUTES MAY MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE BEWTEEN B2 AND C1. WHICH COULD BE A GAME / LIFE CHANGING RESULT. RIGHT?
