According to my business teacher I have a tendency to go 'mad' while writing my ABQ answers. apparently there is a knack when it comes to distinguishing between fluff and actual point. has anybody cracked this nut? Knowing too much can also be a problem too, such a precise subject.. Anybody else have similar problems?

With every subject loads of people actually forget to relate back to the original question.. That's the bad thing about rote learning..

Read the questions first before you read the passage.
Highlight key words from the question so you know what to keep an eye out for when you read it.
In general, the necessary information for the first answer is located in the first paragraph, the second answer in the second... and so on.

When it comes to actually answering the questions, be concise. Make your point. Then always try and back it up with a quote from the passage. You may not even need a full sentence, just quote maybe 5 particular words to back up your point. Then, it always helps to maybe explain a benefit of the point you just made, or if it's negative, just make a short point on it's negative effect and a possible solution.

A bit like a simple English comprehension. Make your point. Quote. Explain. (P. Q. E ... or however you learned it!)
