See, these command words are like different spices in a misal—you use the right one for the right taste. 'State' and 'describe' want the recipe; 'explain' asks why the potatoes soak up the spices; 'suggest' is your own variation; and 'evaluate' is tasting it and saying if it needed more salt.
From my CBSE days, we learned to explain in long paragraphs, but here, I had to unlearn that. 'Suggest' does not want the textbook fact; it wants you to think like a scientist applying knowledge.
The biggest shock was 'evaluate'—CBSE asked for advantages and disadvantages, but IGCSE demands a final reasoned judgement, like checking which proof in geometry is most elegant. My first evaluation answer lost marks because I just listed points without concluding.
So, nakki, the shift is from writing all you know to writing precisely what the verb commands. It’s like solving an equation: you must show the specific step asked for, not every step you remember.
