Utilize the provided margins appropriately. Do not write in the margins unless instructed otherwise.
Detailed Explanation
Margins serve as the space at the edges of your answer sheet and help organize your writing. It's important to keep this area clear unless you're given specific instructions to use it. Writing in margins can make it difficult for examiners to read your responses and could lead to missing crucial information.
Examples & Analogies
Think of margins like the frame of a picture. A well-framed picture looks presentable and organized. If you were to start drawing on the frame, it would make the picture look messy and distract from the artwork inside. Similarly, keeping your margins clear helps keep your answers neat and focused.

Do not write in the margins unless instructed otherwise.
Detailed Explanation
This instruction is a direct guideline for students during exams. Following this rule ensures that all of your content is contained within the main body of the answer sheet, allowing the examiners to evaluate your responses without distraction. Writing in margins, even if it seems convenient, can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of your answers.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are preparing a presentation with slides. If you place important information in the corners of the slides, it could be overlooked despite its importance. Margins work similarly; crucial details written there might not be seen by the examiner, just like the stray notes can be missed by an audience.
