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.
