To get a 7 in the essays you need about a 13/14 out of 20. However, this is not a easy as it may seem.

Some tips for reaching this level are:

-analyse and evaluate, do not tell the story. Phrases such as 'This shows..', 'This suggests...', 'This highlights...' will become your best friend. When evaluating, give a degree such as, 'Imperialism was a prime cause of WWI' or 'Stalin's mustache had very little effect on his rise to power'

-Lots of details. Dates, stats, names, places.

-Historiography. One of the main differences between a 6 and a 7 is your ability to analyse different viewpoints. "Although some historians believe that _____ It can be argued that _______ was a more significant cause of the American Civil War because___________"

-Have a contention and constantly push it.

-and pretty much all the stuff that Julie said
