Here's the situation: everything I included in essay B was relevant to the title and I covered all three key words (development growth and reproduction); I assessed 'organisms' in the context of micro-organisms, plants, animals and human so hopefully breadth marks?; my quality of written communication was fine (I do essay subjects)..
However in order to achieve sufficient breadth in the limited time I left myself - roughly 30 mins - I wrote lots of points in very limited detail. A lot of my points of discussion were superficial and not explored in much depth, and I failed to properly utilise technical terms.
Do you think it would be possible to get a low mark for scientific content -say 4 or 6-, and then full marks (3,3,3) for the other areas? In past papers I've only needed 4-5 marks in the essay to get an A* so I'd be content with 14-15 marks (although I doubt I've have even got that, lol)
