According to my teacher:
1). Start with a short intro to explain key words/outline essay
2). Discuss the factor in question. Use points backed up by specific evidence/examples/knowledge.
3). Do the same for an alternate factor.
4). Do the same for another factor.
5). Conclude with a judgement on the question.
Make sure you structure your essay well and write fluidly. Include some historical interpretation where relevant to gain higher marks. Try to link the factors to attain better marks. Be detailed, precise and accurate with your evidence and refer back to the question consistently.
I'm studying Wolsey right now too.
Hope this helped.

I didn't even start the thread but this has really helped me set out my practice h/w questions, so thank you! I also usually get 16 at the most for the 24 markers, it's so frustrating.

In English Lit we have a 42 mark question
I still find it hard to get the top band in those 24 markers! Glad you found it useful.

I'm dreading the History exam the most, even over German, which is so much harder for me. Our ex-teacher (he was 'let go') taught us Germany from 1914 - 33 when we're supposed to do 33 - 45!
I think my entire college is going to fail
