Yeah  :-)

I claim OPL (Official Poetic Licence - allocated by law to exam critics.)

I do take your point.  The amount of writing suggested by many questions 
seemed excessive, and others seemed inadequate.

I keep telling my kids that where space or time is limited they need to 
  make their most important point first, then their next most important 
point etc. so if time runs out, they have got their most important 
things said.

This, of course takes planning and forethought, which rules out 90% of 
IPM students  :-(

(Sorry for the cynicism, but I do despair at the quality of students who 
opt for - or get dumped into - IPM.  It seems to be a subject magnetic 
to people who didn't get the subjects they REALLY wanted.)
