1. Have a plan
You’ll need a basic plan on how to face the exam. There’s – in general – no secret formula on how the essay should be other than the instruction your teacher gives. However if you’ve already prepared with a plan on how to tackle it, you’ve won half the battle. Before you take the exam you should prepare as much as possible. Get your hands on previous exams and/or ask the teacher how the questions will be formulated and how s/he wants them to be answered.
2. Don’t worry about the details
Start writing, it doesn’t matter if
your
you’re unsure whether you spelled a word correctly or if you messed up with your grammar. You can (and should) edit these types of details later on when your essay has been completed. For now the most important thing is to get some words on that piece of paper.
3. Did you forget the milk?
Have you ever been told to buy some milk on your way home and while doing so you thought you might as well pick up a couple of other things with the story ending with you forgetting about the milk and buying lots of other stuff? It happens to pretty much all of us. It’s easy to forget about the most important thing when you have lots of other things to consider as well. That’s why I’d recommend you to scribble down all the most essential topics your essay needs to contain before writing it. By starting out this way, you make it easier for yourself not to exclude anything important.
4. It has to be captivating
Just because an essay contains all the most important pieces of information doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. Your essay needs to be written in a structured and precise manner. It also needs to be captivating. If the reader doesn’t feel almost drawn to your work it must be lacking something. It takes time to deliver that extra ‘something’ that separates an okay essay from a remarkable one. To develop this skill you need to train a lot, if you already have it you still need to train if you don’t wish to lose it.
