#1. Do not forget to plan : Planning forms an integral part of your essay writing. If you plan in advance, you will know what you are trying to say, and what point you can skip. You will not need to stop in the middle to think of further dimensions the essay will take. This directly means you will be able to write much faster.

Planning also ensures a better-organized flow of ideas, which again entails you getting hold of the other 25% score dependent on the coherence and cohesion marking criteria. 

#2. Always remember the structure: Do not forget to include the right structure for your essay. It always goes like this:

Introduction
Body paragraphs (1-2, sometimes 3)
Conclusion

This is one of the most valuable tips as a part of your last-minute strategies in this book.

The structure is universal to all kinds of essays and is pretty easy to learn, knowing you will be required to support your essay with further nuances based on the type of essay you are supposed to write. 

Adhering to this structure ensures you get a hold of your coherence and cohesion, as well as your task achievement criteria. 

#3. Use the art of paraphrasing: Using the keywords in your essay is one thing, but copying the whole question prompt as a part of your introduction or your thesis statement is wrong on another level. 

Instead, what you should be doing is paraphrasing the question statement as a part of your introduction. 

Use synonyms for paraphrasing, instead of simply repeating the same words shamelessly. This is an essential step when it comes to achieving a high score on the basis of lexical resource criteria.  

#4. Be specific: Every single part of your answer needs to be relevant to the parts of your question. 

Questions will tell you what needs to be done. Therefore ensure you are following the same path, instead of putting in random ideas and views. If the question, for instance, is talking about fossil fuels and their impact on global warming, talk and focus on fossil fuels and not about global warming in general. 

Be specific to the primary topic keywords. Use your secondary keywords as a support for your topic keywords.

#5. Identify correctly: When it comes to task 2 of your writing section, understand the relevance of identifying the type of essay you are required to write. 

Confusing one type of essay with another is a major faux pas you might be committing. For instance, do not confuse an opinion essay for a discussion essay. Know the framework and the right wordings to differentiate between different kinds of essays. 

#6. Always highlight keywords in advance : Analysing the question in advance is an important step to writing a great essay. Ensure you are able to analyse the keywords since they are going to form the foundation of your essay. 

Identifying the topic keyword, instructional keywords and your secondary keywords ensures you getting scored better on the basis of task achievement criterion, which forms 25% of your band score for the particular task.
