How To Answer Social Studies Questions When You Are Out Of Ideas

First, students should bear in mind questions set under this course are mostly practical in nature. For this reason, you should always try to relate the idea behind your answer to our everyday life.

For example, if you are asked to explain four ways of maintaining sustainable development, you should think of the meaning of the words ‘sustain’ and ‘development’.

Having a little knowledge about the key terms found in this question will give you a clue of what the examiner expects from you. After understanding the concept of the question, you can use your own wisdom to write a tangible answer that will attract very good marks.

Secondly, try as a much as possible to release tension when you at the examination hall. In situations like this, there are some questions you can answer on a normal day with ease. However, the mind will be forced to work a bit slower at the exam center since you are under a lot of pressure.

One advice I will give to students is that, questions answered based on practical behavior requires a lot of deep thinking, hence it will be easier to improvise if you are more relaxed before writing an exam under this course.
