History Optional: Answer Writing Style That Scores

Dr. Rajesh Kumar

History answers look effortless when the thesis shows up early. At EGClasses, we ask students to open with a clear claim, add a map tag if relevant, and then move into arguments.

1) Thesis-first intros

One line that states your stand, one line that sets the frame (time/space). EGClasses mentors annotate your drafts until that rhythm sticks.

2) Map tags and diagram nudges

Even a simple outline map signals situational awareness. We keep a diagram vocabulary bank in the EGClasses portfolio so you can copy the shape and adapt.

3) PYQ anchoring

Every paragraph should whisper a PYQ pattern. The EGClasses library of annotated scripts shows how a 10-marker differs from a 15-marker in depth and examples.

Build your own template but let the EGClasses portfolio guide your first drafts.
