How do I keep my essays concise?

Know your texts. It is better to remember fewer texts, but in greater detail. This prevents you from trying to create links when there are none. In an exam you should barely have to improvise. If you have studied your texts thoroughly and have practised many different arguments then an exam should just be the revival of those ideas and therefore you will not go off on a tangent.
