We had an essay test the other day and yessss, i did so badly ): Definitely need more practice and learn to apply the things learnt into the essay well. I identified some of the mistakes I have done in the essay and I hope to never repeat those mistakes again
My mistakes in the essay
1) Graph not explained
- I had a graph drawn out in my essay but I did not explain the graph. A graph has no mouth so it has to be explained so that the examiners can understand the point of the graph being there.
2) Poor explanation
- I think what I did most badly was my explanation. It was so vague and everything was so broad and wasn't explained well enough.In part (a), I did not prove how a change may alter the amount of consumer surplus which I think is an important key to gain higher marks and not just saying out the main point and assuming the examiners would understand what I am trying to explain
How to make my essay better
1) Make it simple and clear.
-My teacher always says its not the quantity of your essay that counts but the quality. No point beating around the bush when writing an essay just to make it longer as this will only cause confusion to the examiner reading your essay
2) Be more detailed
- I definitely need to work on my explanation skills and explain my essays in a more detailed way. Why write an essay that only you can understand and leave others thinking about it
I'll writing better for my next essay and hopefully I don't repeat those silly mistakes again
