My approach is to break down the question. In the case of long answer- questions, examiners want to firstly know that you understand a question before answering.  Let's use the following example:

The product rule states that y=uv and dy/dx=(u)dv/dx + (v)du/dx. As the equation is in this form we can let u=2x and v=sinx. Therefore du/dx=2 and dv/dx=cosx. Substituting for u and v we get dy/dx=(2x)(co...
