Why is Answer-writing such a challenge for every one? I faced it when i was in your shoes and now my students face it. It is painful to see brilliant mentees not to make it to the interview because of the lack of proper answer-writing guidance.

3 CORE CHALLENGES FOR ANSWER-WRITING WERE IDENTIFIED-
Lack of content and a proper testing schedule
Lack of expert feedback
No Discipline or Accountability
These core challenges were targeted and integrated into the CAWP design forming the 3 PILLARS OF CAWP (Comprehensive Answer-Writing Program)
