Like I have done four or five practice questions but like i use the same techniques over and over again...

I just write an intro and a conclusion plus link the topic back to the question?

Is this right???

Or shouldnt I prepare an essay like this...

In my trial - i literally just wrote the essays prepared without looking at the question - and didn't do that well.

In the HSC I ADAPTED the answer to suit the question. You have to ensure your prepared essay is generic and can be modified.... Change the intro, and concl --> dont make it sound prepared

Its not the best - especially if you can't adapt your generic essay into the real response...

A common complaint against markers last year was that a lot of essays were simply prepared and didnt adapt to the ?
