essay help please...

Ok so we're coming up to the exams and i'm really worried about the essay.

When i write them i tend to lose track of what i'm trying to say or struggle to come up with ideas on the spot. also from time to time i feel my expression doesnt quite get across my full intent,

has anyone got any tips on how to approach essay topics about standards and  variation according to use/user?


this would be a huge help

 P.s what do i need to get on the exam to get a 40 ish ss?

over the last few years its been around roughly ~80% for an A+, so your best bet is around there for 40 given your SACs are good.

That's preety low yeah Vexx?
It makes it seem so easy, when it isn't :P

Btw, wouldn't you still need a Mid-High A+, or is a low A+ also suffice given SAC's are A-A+.
