Re: How much detailed an OEQ Answer should be?

Lots of great advice in this thread for sure.

One additional thing I wanted to point out. Let's say I receive a
question that wants me to identify which of the four NAT address terms
is being shown in a diagram. I check the diagram and it is not clear
(or even erroneous). I would indicate in sentence 1 that the diagram
is not clear (politely). Then in sentences 2 and 3 I would succinctly
define each of the four NAT address terms.

I think this approach is a lot better than rolling a die, or worse,
leaving it blank. I have had several of my students do this exact
approach and they met with success in Core Knowledge.

Do not confuse this with writing a novel to try and "brute force" a
passing score. The proctors have made it clear they will not read such
a submission.
