I just joined, so I can finally post questions. In the PADI Diving Knowledge Workbook, I am curious about the questions that require written answers. The answers given in the answer key (some of which I basically knew, others I did not), can be really technical and long-winded, with important knowledge added to what the real answer is (typical of PADI?). I just wonder how much discretion your instructor has in grading such responses--ei., if I show an understanding of the question without too much ellaboration, is it "correct". Don't get me wrong-I read all the manuals backward and forward and want to be the best DM I can, but I doubt anyone whoever took these written tests rambled on like the answers the Workbook gives. There isn't even enough space given for you to fit in their answers. Any advice?
