What catches people out

The word limit is part of the answer: over it and a correct meaning still scores zero. Spelling and singular/plural count too.

Why practise by question type

Marks are rarely lost evenly. Most people are steady across a paper and then drop four to six marks on one question type every single time. Drilling that type on its own — rather than sitting another whole test and losing the same marks again — is the fastest repair available to you.
