Quoting Pauline McInnes <[log in to unmask]>:
Hi Pauline,
If she's studying a science subject I would have thought that more
literal her answers are the better - there's far less ambiguity than
there would be in an Arts course, for example. We all know that we
can't ask for exam questions to be simplified...
Is it worth asking the department for more information on the likely
content and composition of the exams?
