How do i structure the answer to my essay questions?

In History, it is important to include the three C's (Causes, Course and Consequences) into each answer. Using all of these ensure that you demonstrate to the examiner that you have a sound grasp of all aspects of the event in question. Also, in each individual paragraph, make sure you back up your point with evidence, and then explain their significance. Keep your answers succint and to the point. Remember, quality if more important than quantity.
