how to get top marks in literature paper 1

our teacher said in english its all about "crafting" and how you structure your essay, but only ever taught us the "PEE" thing.....
how good would this method be?:
1.point
2.present evidence/quote
3.explain its meaning
4. pick a keyword in it and explain that one word
5. say why the author has chosen to write this
6. what the author could be saying about the subject
7. context as to why the author might have done that??
8. how (audience type) would respond to that
9. ultimately what message the author is trying to spread
10. conclude by linking back to question

so yh if i did all these steps perfectly for each paragraph, would that reach top marks?
plz i have like 2 hours to go up by 2 grades 😭
Yeah it's a pretty good structure, but also remember to make atleast two points about the quote instead of just one
