English A: Lang and Lit HL Paper 1 help!

Basically it's been a semester since I started IB A1Eng and my Paper 1 - the Written Commentary - is going to hell. I've given about 4 papers by now and have practiced for ages and never seem to go above 12/20. My organisation always gets me 3/5 and analysis 4/5, it's just the entire score never goes up -_-

My school isn't really very famous for its good English scores, though. The highest in the past 3 years has been a 14/20 and it was the best commentary I'd ever read, even a senior of mine has been predicted a decent 6 and she's basically topped.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get a better score? It's seriously starting to worry me as I've been predicted 7's everywhere else but a 5 here.
