I have used it before, and it does enable you to get your marks if your content is correct, and if your sentence structure is easily understood - in the HSC, the markers are not going to take extra time to understand what you are trying to say. Also, make sure you are addressing the question, don't go off on a tangent using this structure, and link it to the question.

It also depends on what subjects you are doing. It works well with some science questions and the majority of HSIE subjects - I am not sure about other subjects as I am not familiar with the style of questions.

Some schools enforce this structure as it is a logical way of writing. I would say use the alarm matrix as a checklist and a basic structure - adjust it to your style of writing and the content. After you answer a question, think if you have all the necessary information and if it links to the question.
