Tips
Do the data-response questions before the essays. That is where the diagram and evaluation habits are built, and the essays get much easier once those are automatic. Sketch every diagram a question implies, even when it does not ask — the marks often appear for it anyway.
Mark yourself on structure, not content. Define, draw, analyse, then evaluate will out-score a better-informed answer that does those in a jumble or stops after analysis. Check specifically: did you write a judgement with a reason, or just list both sides?
Examiner reports are worth more here than in most subjects. They say plainly which diagrams candidates drew wrongly, year after year. Read one after you have worked that paper, not before.
