The rules on setting out responses (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,
Where do you find out the rules for how you are allowed to set out responses for the HSC exam?
For example in physics/chemistry I know you can use sub-headings, dot points and tables, but in studies of religion you have to have your answers written out in full essay form.

I think there are no explicit rules, but rather, you should pay particular attention to the exam verb used and from experience in doing the questions, you will slowly develop an understanding of how to structure responses to get the highest marks, looking at sample responses from past school trials can also assist you as well as looking at the marking criteria of the questions you encounter.
