AQA History essays ''cheat sheet''

I'm in year 12 so the new spec. In class essays/exams I'm getting C's and I have had one B in a Cold War essay.
As I've gone from full marks OCR at GCSE I would like to aim for an A at A level. My teachers are not giving me a lot of advice on how to improve as 90% of the class are working at below a C so I'm on the back burner for a little while.
Does anyone have any essay tips or advice? Or a ''tried and tested'' essay structure? I'm doing Cold War and Tudors.
Thank you! :smile:

How successful?
Extremely successful
Moderately successful
Relatively successful
Relatively unsuccessful
Very unsuccessful

Also make combinations from above with the following: political, economic, social, religious, martial and geopolitical standpoints.

e.g. moderately successful from an economic perspective due to policy x and y but relatively unsuccessful from a geopolitical standpoint for policy z.

To what extent?
Large extent.
Moderate extent.
Mild extent.
Little extent.
Little to no extent.

Again make combinations from above.

And read mark-schemes along with examiner reports.

Make sure you address the question at the beginning of each paragraph and evaluate the question at the end of each paragraph.
