Yes,
these questions can be quite tricky but they all ask for the same
thing – for you to answer what is asked in the questions, among
other things. It is very important, then, to carefully analyse the
question, even dissect it piece by piece to be able to give the best
answer.
Identify
keywords
Firstly,
essay questions are categorical, asking you to analyse, to describe, to investigate, to contrast, and to compare, among others. These keywords are
found in the essay question itself. Highlight the keyword/s found in
the question, and then plan your course of action. If it asks you to
describe the subject, then that is enough clue to help you approach
the subject.
