Unpick, Not Nitpick

Daily Post

It’s a waste of your examiners’ talent and everyone’s time if they just pore through your work to find clunky sentences or spelling mistakes. They will find some probably, because very few candidates get no corrections, but that’s not what they are looking for.

Your examiners want to unpick what you did, why you did it, how you did it and what it all means.
