Techniques that can help candidates balance comprehensiveness with conciseness in answers include employing the PEEL method (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) which structures responses clearly. Utilizing bullet points for key arguments can enhance clarity while fitting essential information succinctly. Time management during writing ensures responses are completed without unnecessary elaboration. Regular practice writing within time limits helps candidates refine their ability to distill complex ideas into concise answers, ensuring all critical aspects of a question are addressed while maintaining clarity and focus.
