How can I write a full answer in the short amount of time given in the exam?

By practicing lots of past paper questions, I will make sure that you understand the necessary structure of an answer. This includes the steps needed for an introduction, the main body of the answer, including balanced arguments, and finally what you need in a conclusion. This structure will remain the same for all answers, and the only thing that will change each time is the content of the answer, which comes from creative thinking, which we will also remember. I have many quirky ways of remembering how to structure essays, in the order required for the exam, therefore you shouldn't have any timing issues as you'll be ready to go with a time limit for each paragraph!
