[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 37563, member: 2672"] There is no set answer to this unfortunately - it ultimately comes down to the individual applicant and even each application they make. My advice is to not think of application questions in isolation. Instead think about how your answer fits into the wider application and the evidence you have elsewhere. This means for one person, showing depth of explanation may make sense, while for the next showing variety with less detail makes sense. I wouldn’t necessarily worry about whether points “link up” as your friend suggested. Instead, I would think about the following: - are you going to show you kept yourself busy - are you going to show that you stick to things or that you jump from one thing to the next with very little commitment - are you going to be able to show a variety of skills - is there a risk that you look one dimensional or that you are a jack of all trades but a master of none - do you show a variety in skills/attitudes, rather than achievements - is evidence lacking elsewhere in the application? Can you compensate for it in this section if it is? [/QUOTE]
