Cambridge MML admissions assessment - question structure

I can't find too much about the actual structure of the question responses - pretty clear that no real intro is needed for at least question 1 in the target language, but are conclusion paragraphs necessary ? I've found myself writing around 300 words for question 2 and get that there's 12 marks for content vs. organisation but I Would like some closure about whether just because the paragraph structure is just PEA that you don't need to tie everything up at the end.

Hi! I sat the admissions assessment last year and received an offer (granted I don't know how big a role the admissions assessment played in it). For question 1, my final "conclusion" paragraph was where I answered whether I agree or disagree with the author's argument and referenced back to the points made. For question 2, I can't remember exactly what I wrote but I remember that I had a very small conclusion (I think one sentence) where I referred to the techniques used by the author which persuades us of his point of view. Hope that helps!

Hi, I'm sitting the MML assessment this week and I was wondering if you might have any particular tips on what sort of language techniques to include such as idiomatic expressions in section A maybe?

Hi! Yes idiomatic expressions would be great but only if they're relevant - as good as it is to include complex structures, don't add in too many to the point where the clarity isn't clear and it doesn't read naturally. Like with any A level MFL essay, I would include techniques such as:
Basically, make your writing descriptive but also don't stray away from the whole purpose of the question, which is to summarise the text, so make sure that each sentence has a purpose.
What language will you be sitting the assessment in? I studied French and Italian at A level so I may be able to help there with some ideas.
