2010 Q2 Comparing NX Interface versus Video Based System

[PJW]

The following is representative of my answer for the 2010 exam, which I passed. I have resisted the temptation to add more to the answer, as I wish it to show what formed part of a "pass" in that paper.

This answer goes beyond my personal 400 word in 20 min capability, but it would be true to say that I dwelled on this question a bit too long as I was familiar with it, and felt that there was good marks for me in it, versus the other questions................................................

Peter, please feel free to delete if you think repeating this is of no benefit.

Certainly not. I think it is very valuable to have a yardstick to judge what the examiners regard as a suitable answer. It'd be nice to have some real answers published along with their allocated marks, but think this is never going to happen, so this insight does give the best idea we have.

There are lots of short sharp statements that make a point and then answer moves on. Avoids much convoluted explanation and long lengths of continuous prose that can tend to be repetitive. Better to be terse than waffle.

Obviously need to bear in mind that this was in the era of 20 minute questions, so obviously the examiners would be expecting rather more in the current scenario as the time has increased to 150%.
