Self-review before submitting

Compare an illustrative response

Try your own response first. This example shows one possible approach; it is not an assessed script.

Alerts increased substantially from 180 to 240, a rise of 60 alerts or about one third compared with the earlier total. Whereas the previous period recorded 180 alerts, the latest period recorded 240. We still need the number of checks and the length of each reporting period before comparing alert rates. The figures establish a change in recorded volume, but they do not establish its cause. I recommend checking those denominators before adjusting resources.

  • Increased substantially combines a change verb and an adverb; the percentage uses 180 as its base.
  • Whereas explicitly compares the two reported totals.
  • The limitation identifies missing denominators and leads to a proportionate recommendation.
