    Is it best to write Short answers in dot points or short paragraphs ?

    I've always answered all short questions in dot points because that's just the way I think/write. But after looking at some band 6 papers, I've noticed that they write out in paragraph type of responses. So what's better ? Stick to dot points or try and articulate them into a paragraph ? lmao
