How applicants commonly misuse it
Applicants often ask whether a sentence sounds impressive rather than whether it reduces the right doubt.
Good vs weak usage
- Stronger: A career-change applicant explains the academic bridge and shows recent assessed work in the new field.
- Weaker: The essay says the transition is natural but gives no evidence of preparation.
