Hey hey
I guess the best advice i ever received was always link to the question. Not just at the end of paragraphs, but throughout them too if possible. Also only use quotes if they have a purpose - it's often better not to use one rather than using one just for the sake of using one
Other than that, just practise and remember to use modern history jargon ^^
For study tips, make concise notes. When i mean concise, i mean concise. You don't want to be reading more than you have to as study before exams - you need lots of time for actual essay writing practise. Other than that, just pace yourself. Cramming doesn't pay off, but consistent studying does
I hope i've helped a bit ^^
