This first practice essay showed me my strengths and my weaknesses. A positive that came out from this was that I planned my points, especially for part A really well, and used the plan, which helped my progress, HOWEVER, this led me to not keeping the same amount of time for part B which resulted in me not finishing the answer. For part A I used more examples, compared to when I started talking about my Advanced Portfolio.
Things I will do to improve my exam writing skills-
Before this i had only looked at one exemplar piece of work, which I must do more often because this will help me with the way I would structure my essay.
I will also make a plan for both parts A and B with what the potential topics are which could come up, and continuously link it back to analysis of improvement.
To practice your time management, do practice essays under timed conditions (just like english, yay), and then you can practice the time and content too!
ReplyDeleteTry not to waste time on planning (I know you just said that) but don't re-write any points for 1b that may already be in your 1a plan! But goooooood! xx
Really good that you reflected on the essay that you just wrote. Will really help in improvements.
