Meaning should be conveyed accurately with no misinterpretation or misleading language
Be aware of the notion register!
Ensure to not losing certainty of meaning in the source text
No free translation
Do not use everyday language
Do not look at the model answer unless you have completed each task
Consult your dictionaries when you find problems

Paragraph 3
Examination Report Components Required examination work papers as outlined in the table below,
form the basis of the examination report. Additional work papers, checklist, and/or examiner-developed
documents may be included, at the discretion of the examiner. This auxiliary information should
provide in-depth information concerning problem areas or evaluate specific problems, provide support
for examination findings and assist in the resolution of the identified problem(s).

Language Point: May/Might

May and might (+ perhaps) are both ways of expressing possibility.
may (present tense) when talking about a current situation
might (past tense) when talking about an event that happened in the past.
I may go home early if Im tired. (present tense)
He might have visited Italy before settling in Nuremberg. (past tense)
In practice, this distinction is rarely made today and the two words are generally interchangeable.

Language Point: May/Might

But there is a distinction between may have and might have in certain contexts.
If the truth of a situation is still not known at the time of speaking or writing, either of the two
is acceptable:
By the time you read this, he may have made his decision.
If the event or situation referred to did not in fact occur, it's better to use might have:
The draw against Italy might have been a turning point, but it didn't turn out like that.

Language Point (Preposition): Between & Among

The preposition among
means in the company of, by the joint action of, or each with the other
applies to collective arrangements (with all members involved).
The preposition between
means by the common action of, in point of comparison to, from one to another, or by the combined
effort of.
applies to reciprocal arrangements (one member to another member)
may apply to more than two members (Oxford English Dictionary)
