Key learnings from their answer
- ›He answers in the question's own direction-words as boxed/underlined sub-headings: Q2 splits into 'Similarities/Differences' (because the demand was 'compare & contrast'), and CSP-type answers run 'Causes/Consequences/Solutions'. -> Lift the directive verb from the question (compare, examine, causes-and-measures) and turn it into your literal headings, so the structure visibly mirrors the demand and you can't drift off-question.
- ›He converts vague magnitude into hard figures: Q13 contrasts the actual NPK ratio (8:4:1 vs the ideal 4:2:1), Q6 cites '13 monsoon deficits in last 18 years', and Q15 notes 'China controls 50% supply'. -> Replace words like 'many', 'rising', 'imbalanced' with a specific ratio, count or percentage you've memorised; one precise number signals depth more than a paragraph of adjectives.
