Hey guys, just gotten feedback for Trials, even though I did pretty well the general consensus of the teachers was to better answer the question i.e. answer all parts of the question.

Currently, I memorise my whole essay and during the test I write a thesis on the spot trying to answer the question as best as I can and for the very last sentence I try to link back to the question, especially in the body paragraphs seem to be where I am struggling, "You need to evaluate the question body as well. It's there, but needs to be foregrounded". Further, I got some feedback that said I should reword/paraphrase sentences to fit that sentence rather than adding another line to answer the question.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Why don't you ask your teacher?

i mean they've basically told you what you need to do. you need to be adapting every piece of analysis that you have, to the question on the day.
