What makes a good WJEC/Eduqas essay?

Rachel Dodge presents some key tips on the learnable skill of essay writing, which will be useful whichever exam board you are studying

In examinations, your understanding of psychology is often assessed through essays. However, writing a good essay can often feel hard, even if you understand the topic that you need to write about. The good news is that essay writing is a skill that you can learn and improve on. So where do you start?

A good starting point is to look at psychology essays that have been written by other psychology students. Your teacher may have copies of past examination responses or you could take a look at the WJEC/Eduqas Online Exam Review website. Here you will find a selection of student answers that bring together the exam questions, their marking schemes and examiner comments. Visit the site here: oer.wjec.co.uk.
