Hi
1) I suggest you use good vocab - like instead of shout, say bellow - this enhances writing to make it better.
2) Structure your essay well, so allocate one point to one paragraph for example, just to make your essay clearer.
3) Speaking of being clear, try not to use too complex ideas to confuse the examiner, always be clear in what you say
4) Be specific, if the question asks about for example a particular theme, make sure you don't start writing a bunch of random quotes, be specific to the question
5) Don't be too simple, analyse different pieces of language, form and techniques - don't just analyse a quote or a scene for the meaning of it
I hope that helped and good luck for your exam!
