Grade C you're looking at just a pass 8/15. B will probably be 10 or 11 upwards?

What is needed in an essay to get a B?

typically, essay grades are:

A1: 12-13 in every essay
A Mark: 11
B Mark: 9
C: Mark: 8

However, 21/30 in a DME is an A, so if you can do well in the DME 25+, you can average around 9.5 marks and still get an A

thanks. In order to get a grade B/A essay it's it lots of facts or lots of analysis?

You see for a Health and Wealth question about lifestyle choices affecting health, is is possible to mention lifestyle choices at the beginning, but then basically link everything back to income and so conclude that no, income is more important in affecting health?
This seemed to be what my teacher was saying but I wasn't sure.

Also, I have some essay plans typed up on health and wealth, USA, global security and voting systems if anyone wants any. :smile:

Can either post them here or mail them to you.

Could you please please send me an essay plan for gender/ethnic inequalities ? I really need help with that :frown:

Follow the correct structure. Provide as much evidence and relevant evidence at that. Make the essay around 2 pages and a half and that's how I've always tried to achieve a B or A(if I revised.)

Really hoping I can get 25+ for the DME and a couple of my better essay questions come up.

say 25+12+12= 49, you could get 7/15 for your other two essays and still get an A!

Is it too risky not learning the powers of the president for the usa and only NGOs and UNOSs for Africa?

That's 63, you would get a B if that happened.

Confused!

Guys. Got a request here and hoping someone can help me out. Would anyone be willing to send me an essay or an essay plan on the American Dream? I'm finding it difficult to write and I've been trying to get it done for ages now. Thanks in advance. :redface:
