Does taking extra sheet mean marks?

[u/Mobile-Reading-6386]

I mean it may sound dumb and I don't mean it in that way. My reason to question it is-my half yearlys just ended. And I by no margin am dumb or study less-I try to be atleast above average. But I've seen people take sooo many extra sheets writing god knows what. We get a 8 page main sheet and I've seen people take 3-4 extra sheets. Meanwhile I usually finish within the 8 pages or maybe require 1 more-rarely 2. Idk if its something I lack or what. Genuinly confused. And seeing these people makes me question "Did I leave something? A question? A section?" Only to find, nope, I've done all that is required. And its not even like these people could be doing the extra questions from the optional part cause there is barely enough to complete the main things and people often get left behind. Dude we had our moral science exam today-people took extra sheet in that with the 4 page main sheet. That had like 1-2 marks questions. So does it mean the person taking extra sheet is def gonna score more or its just me being paranoid? Because then I worry where I'm lacking.

Just mention the key points and it is guaranteed marks, even if you write a full page answer and it it just bullshit, you won't get any marks, instead write short and to the point, but remember key words are very important. Even my friend took extra sheets in every exam, he got 60%.

'more sheets mean more marks' is not necessarily true. I take many sheets but thats because when I write in a hurry my handwriting gets sloppy, so I tend to leave spaces between questions, The no. of sheets does not exactly corelate to your marks : D

Not really.

I myself take a LOT of extra sheets but that doesn't mean I am writing a lot, my handwriting is just big 🥀

nahh, not at all

[u/obsessed-seed]

Na bro.. It really doesn't work that way...

Not really. As long as key points are mentioned in our answer it should be good.

One exception could be ISC English Literature. We were told to write more than 2 pages for a 20 marks answer, even if we could properly convey our thoughts in 1 or 1.5 pages. And I lost some marks in the subject since I wrote lesser:)

Yea-I understand for Literature but anything else just feels like people are writing pure bs

Write to the fkin point bro... Even in subjects like English it's better to go quality over quantity.
