AQA Biology A Level Synoptic Essay Marking Help

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on these essays? (will insert pictures). I have included quite a few topics from the mark schemes, especially for the disease one, but am not sure if what I am writing has the right amount of detail and whether I am linking it to the question enough.

I am asking because we have been set these essays to do by school but we are only peer marking them instead of our teacher marking them. No one knows how to give an actual mark so we are just guessing.

The essay is marked out of 25 with 3 marks for each of breadth, relevance and quality of written communication and 16 for scientific content. Hopefully some of you have experience with these essays before!

Any advice would be great, especially with my exams coming up in a few months. Thanks! :smile:
