what course are you doing? & what did you get in your first year & second?

Study longer.

All I can say is for coursework, look at examples of essays that have received a first. That's what I do. I study the techniques used and the way in which they approach their essay. Also, use a lot of sources in your essay.

For instance, "The scholar Louisa May approaches goal setting with a cautious standpoint. She reiterates in her paper how it can advocate short term thinking, which is dangerous in organisational sceneries. Liam Day opposes this view point and reinstates the positivity of goal setting, essentially asserting that goal setting will 'almost definitely lead to higher efficiency'.".

This is a simple example, but you get the point. Try and use the same technique in exams.
