The words to use
- Delivery multiplier
- The idea that delivery scales your content: clear delivery lets good content be credited, poor delivery hides it, and polish cannot rescue an answer with nothing in it.
- Point first
- Opening with your actual answer in one sentence, then using the rest of your time for reasons, the other side and a conclusion.
- Weighted signpost
- A signpost that tells the examiner which part matters most, such as "the second reason decides it", rather than simply counting your points.
- Landing
- A planned final sentence that decides something, said with a falling tone and followed by silence rather than "so yeah".
