Definitely practice a lot, and do lots of past papers – make sure you are sure about how much time you have and make sure to get to the level of being able to consistently finish a piece of work you’re satisfied with 🙂
Of course, getting lots of good examples is also helpful! The Descriptive and Narrative essay bank is pretty useful for that, and if you’d like full access, feel free to sign up for a premium membership!
