studying for glopo?

i keep scoring a 5 or 6 on p2, and I've been seeing a decline in my writing skills. i understand the thesis and peel structure, but i feel like something is missing that’s keeping me from reaching a 7.

for those who have scored a 7, what made the difference for you? any tips on structuring arguments, using case studies effectively, or writing a stronger evaluation?

is everyone just writing essays for practice?
