Command Words
‘Command words’ in the question are verbs that indicate how you should answer. They provide clues as to what level of analysis is required and how much you should write:
‘State’ merely asks you to recall facts and briefly express them in a clear and complete way
‘Analyse’ asks you to examine something critically. You’re required to ‘take apart’ an idea or statement, examine it in depth, (considering how the parts interrelate) and deliver your thoughts and judgements.
‘Advise’ asks you to relate your answer to a real life task that you may face in a working situation. It’s often found in case study questions.
The worksheet below introduces you to more of the ‘command words’ typically used in ICSA exams, and encourages you to think about what these mean. We recommend that you take some time to work through these exercises.
