AQA A-Level Biology Essay - Advice?

Hello, all

Does anyone have any advice for the essay? More specifically, keeping it concise, relevant and to time? I'm secure on my content and my ability to link all the topics to the main theme, I just feel like I sometimes waffle, which could cost me marks in terms of breadth of ideas and relevancy

Any advice is welcome :smile:

Hi,
Does your essay have a word count?
Unfortunately, with essays you sometimes have to be a bit brutal in terms of cutting out irrelevant information and sticking to the main themes/ideas. Perhaps see if you've used any phrases that can be shortened or omitted - keep asking yourself whether what you've written answers the essay question.

I hope this helps!
