Contextual demand to the demand of the question was good. But
• Avoid writing issues not in the demand of the question ie., Follow the directive
given in question; Eg in Q11

Content competence was good.

• Focusing more on main demand of the question needs more attention For eg in
Q1, 2 and few others.
• Bring points from different themes to add diversity to points. For eg in Q13
• Supporting your views with explanations. For eg in 1, 18 and few others
• Dont just highlighting points but also contextualizing them to context. For eg. in Q4

Language competence is good. Explicit mentioning for handwriting. But parts of

same argument can be clubbed.

Structure and presentation is good but

• in Q9 & Q 13, presentation of answer didn’t follow natural flow of the question.
• Discuss part of the question which is demanded in separate section and not in
conclusion. For eg. Q3, Q4 and few others
• categories points on different themes to make your answers more presentable.
For eg. In Q13 14 15
• Avoid writing in large paragraph and content can be better presented in points for
eg in Q15

Introduction
• Introduction should be kept short and write in single para. For eg in. Q20

Conclusion was good.

• Keep conclusion small and focus more on main content
• Also conclusion was missing in Q8 Q7. Include appropriate conclusion.

You had scope to score more marks in Q16, 17, 18, be descriptive, and bring
specific points. Also Also along with aforementioned question, Q5, Q13 are were
from foundation topics. Make sure topics as such and marks therefore are in your
basket..

All in all it was a good attempt and you have good potential to score good marks…
All the best..
