Given the severely limited time given, one often has no choice but to
cram and mug up so that you have as much information as you can on your
fingertips. You practise writing continuously for speed and flow. You
make notes and diagrams, or buy material from coaching centres. As
someone said, what matters here is not how much you know, but how much
you can put in within those three hours. In the process, candidates go
for the most commonplace arguments that they get ready-made from
guidebooks or Wikipedia, with hardly any chance to exercise their
analytical skills or critical thinking capacity. Weighted down by the
clock, candidates usually write whatever comes to their mind. Some say
that they gave opinions in their answers that on second thought, they
would have reversed. That means the candidate’s answers often do not
reflect his or her considered opinion.
