How do stay on topic in the French GCSE 150 word question?

I think the marks on a French 150 word, 32 marker are divided up between3 diff things (could someone clarify what these are pls), one of which is relevancy. I'm really bad at staying on topic/just focussing talking on the one bullet point written down- could someone please give some tips or lmk if they've ran into this problem and what they did to get full marks in the relevancy section?

Looking at the AQA mark scheme, the 32 marks are divided up between content (15 marks), range of language (12 marks) and accuracy (5 marks).

Been a while since I did GCSEs, but what'll probably be fairly helpful is having a look at mark schemes and examiner reports for past exam papers.
Here are the ones from 2022 (higher):

150 words isn't really too much, just make sure you cover all the points in the question and see if you can get a few different tenses in there as well :smile:
