To answer and to record!

Hi hi,

can anyone tell me the different between "you will be granted a pc/laptop to answer your answers and the higlighted part. And doest this state means that I will have a computer in answering my exam questions? thank you


I am pleased to confirm that you will be granted an additional 10 minutes per hour in which to complete each examination (i.e. 30 minutes extra time in a 3 hour exam). This additional time will be added at the end of each examination. You will be granted a PC/laptop to record your answers if you wish, and thus, a separate room has also been awarded to you.

I don’t quite feel comfortable with this paragraph. I think the person who wrote this had exercised the wrong choice of words. in my opinion.

  • “Granted” here didn’t mean “giving as gift”, It’s merely meant “allowance”, or “allow to borrow” a PC.
  • <<<a separate room has also been awarded to you>>> what does "awarded a room mean"?

Hi Edward,

You don't "answer your answers."

Answer is a verb when you are doing it. Think of it is "respond."
Answer is a noun when you give it. Think of it as "a response."

You would say "to respond to your responses," would you?

You answer questions. You respond to questions.
You provide answers. You record your answers. You mark down your answers. Yo
