gcse classics 8 and 15 marker advice

i'm trying to learn the ocr classical civillisations gcse by myself, but I'm struggling with how to structure and write the essay questions, I'm not even sure what they are meant to really look like 😓😓
Especially with 15 markers for myth and religion, I don't really understand how you are expected to blend roman and greek together -- are you expected to compare them or describe them both as one unit?
If anyone has advice on structures, timing, or example answers, I'd really appreciate it !!! (I'm taking myth and religion and the homeric world)

hi im sorry this reply is so late hope u see it!!
basically, the structure I use for 15 markers is really similar to an english lit essay, I do a short (literally 1 sentence) intro, then I do three paragraphs, or two big ones (which i could split into 4 small ones) depending on the question, then a small conclusion. for the blending greek and roman, i havent seen a question where you have to combine both as they cover different things, the question is normally to contrast the greek and roman - so for a simple structure i would do one paragraph on greek and one paragraph on roman. there was one question in 2024 that asked for greek and roman, however I would stick to separating these and maybe making a comment about their similarities in a seperate paragraph. if you find this structure confusing i used to do my 15 markers based on three points which were each a paragraph, and then do half the paragraph on greek/agreeing and half the paragraph on roman/disagreeing. I normally get 13-15/15 on my essays and they all go up to the end of the given space in the booklet. timings - its 90 marks 90 minutes, so typically I would do 10 minutes per each 8 marker and 20 minutes MAX for the 15 marker (5 minutes planning and 15 minutes writing roughly). if this is really unclear let me know!!
