You have to do that.

And if you don't, you are going into waffle land.

And waffle land, your marks are deteriorating by each sentence.

Keep focused.

Paper one, paper two.

Read the question and after every paragraph, read it again to make sure that you are staying on task.

And while that might sound, oh, you're going to use a lot of time there, it's actually worth it.

Yeah, you do.

I mean, you have to have a thesis.

Exactly.

And that's it.

And that's actually the difference between a H1 and a H2 student, saying the same thing in different ways.

To have a thesis in your introduction, restate it, pull it through each paragraph and then finish with it in the end.

That actually, I always say, bookend your essays, whether it's in paper one or paper two, with a strong thesis approach.

linked to the actual question asked.

So to remind the examiner, hey, look, I am on task at the beginning and to remind them when they're about to give you marks at the end that you have been on task.

Paper one has, without question, the most important question on it.

36% of the entire two papers is your composition.

Choose your composition wisely.
