Writing in own word can work subject to you write relevant..
There is difference between "writing in own word" and "writing based on own knowledge"
If you do not read ICAI material it means you are writing based on own knowledge, this is really dangerous.
I know I failed in ISCA, because I wrote what I knew... but question is what I wrote was relevant to the topic... (I have applied for certified copies to see what was wrong)
Like you talk about characteristic of good information... and you write following bullets:
- Transparent
- Complete
- Availability
- Rate
- Mode
- Reliable
- Form
- Valuable
- Validity
- Adequate
- Quality
- Frequency
- Purpose
- Updated
You will be required to write content against each bullet..... Own knowledge about bullet points???
Since you are not taking any coaching for this subject, it is highly recommended to read and understand meaning of each term..
you know small and very easy looking questions can drown you, because you know it is easy and we can write bases own understanding... try this "try to write something about internet and check with what is written in material"
