A level psychology advice

I'm doing edexcel and am unsure on exam technique as my teacher hasn't really told us how to structure 8 and 16 markers, and I can't really find much online as it's mostly for aqa. I'm not sure how to structure the essays as a whole and also how much you need to write as it seems like a lot compared to the marks allocated, as well as what to write for a conclusion.

Does anyone have any tips?

16 markers - PEEL x3

Point (clarity) Explain (detail) Example (statistics) Link (link back to the question)

Do 3 PEEL paragraphs and if you want to be real fancy and a conclusion at the end if you have time in your exam.

Each paragraph should have one example case study/statistic as half your marks come from detail. You’ll be stuck around 8/16 or less without detail.
