Create a simple 12 mark essay plan template which you can use for all your 12 mark questions. this helped me so much so I knew I wasn’t missing anything.

AO1 - outline the key points of the theory

AO3 - Strenghts of the theory and weaknesses.
Try to include as much evaluation as possible but be careful not to contradict yourself. Some points you will read in your books may do this.

Another tip to ensure top marks is to link your evaluation to your AO1 smoothly...
Use discourse markers...
In addition... (add supporting evidence as to why the theory is good)
On the other hand ( add a point which shows the theory lacks praise)
Furthermore... (to link to supporting arguments that fit well together).

Good luck with your essay! If you need support with plans I’d be happy to help
