What structure is expected in SC short answer questions?

For geography/history we were told we could use dot points etc - is this true?

I assume you can't do the same with English? In English do you need 'full sentence answers' a la primary school?

You're allowed to use dot points for geography/history as a means of getting your information out concisely and that markers will find it easy to mark. However, it varies between teacher, since some say that you have to write in full sentences to demonstrate that you are able to write a structured essay or something. I personally believe it's fine, as long as you have the knowledge and the arguments work well with the correct use of logic to interlink between the points...

As for english, you MUST use full sentence answers.

depends on the verb.

explain - NO DOT POINTS!
identify-DOT POINTS
outline-DOT POINTS and elaborate a little.

i got 98 in geo last year and didnt use dot points at all. i advise not to in general especially the ext response. good luck.
