Practice essays practice essays practices essays (did I mention practice essays?). Definitely one of the BEST ways to prepare for Ancient history essays (and pretty much any essay in general). Go through past half yearly/trial/HSC questions related to what you have studied and have a go. Make sure to get them checked by a teacher (or here if you'd like! We don't have a thread for it yet, but if that is something people would be interested in I'd be happy to set one up) so that you know what areas you need to improve upon/what is working well that you need to continue. Doing practice essays not only exposes you to the types of questions that you could get asked, but also forces you to start considering your knowledge as not just content - but examples to back up your judgements.
Essay scaffolds also work super well, particularly right before the exam as they take less time :)
Hope this helps! Good luck with your assessment :D I'm sure you will smash it! Be sure to let us know how it goes/if you need anything :)

Steph is literally amazing right :) I know exactly how you feel in terms of marks seeming inconsistent - exactly me last year in english. The best way to rectify that is to do past papers, and get them marked by a teacher (or on here lol ;) ) A lot of the time it has nothing to do with the content, but how you applied the content - i.e. structure. So getting a teacher to look over your work, and identifying the weak areas that you may not even realise exist will definitely help with consistency!
