How do I study for my essay portion of the exam

To begin you would write a sample essay to adress each and all of the questions, using a mark scheme try to give yourself a mark or get it checked with a tutor. You would then break down each essay paragraph into Knowledge pointAnalysis pointKnowledge Counter analysis and Evaluation.Once these points are clear and well structured, try to simplify the point into one easily remembered sentence, and then try to simplify it further into a word or two for each point and each paragraph should have 5 words. This makes it easier to remember 4 paragraphs for the 8 essays each. It should also keep you close to the mark scheme and help you pick up marks and not go off topic
