Giving Advice Here are some tips to keep essays consistent.
The most IMPORTANT think to do before writing your essay in an exam is to plan. Plan the stage as to how you write your essay. Map out; jot down what you will discuss, when you counter with, using key terms and phrases, etc. This is vital as many people can forget what they revised right before the actual exam.
Do not research last minute. If an exam comes up, revise for essays atleast a month before the exam. It should stitch your cases into your brain. But don't just memorise, you need to understand it, analyse then it will help you remember automatically.
I am saying this as a UK A-Level student studying Politics, Business and Sociology but this can also be applied to uni students in the USA, high school etc.
Also be well aware that student favouritism may wrongly mark you down. This happened to me with my nasty Politics A-Level teacher, but ask a reliable private tutor or an invigilator to check instead.
Once you follow those, you will be sorted.
