How to Finish Essay Qs in the Time (A-Level)?

I'm studying A-Levels History (AQA), Geography (Edexcel) and Politics (Edexcel), and one thing they all have in common is essay Qs. I would like to ask anyone currently doing, or who has completed, the courses which I'm doing for any advice on how to complete the essay questions in an appropriate amount of time. I'm particularly interested in the 20 markers for Geography, and the 30 markers for Politics.

Thanks.

For geography, it’s just practise, use PEEL, and a conclusion. P1, P2, P3, P4 and conclusion. (Point, Evidence, Explain, Link back to Q) I’m not sure if you’ve already used this structure or not, but keeping it simplified in that structure may help speed up your times as you can deconstruct each paragraph.
