Review the structure
On your first read, think about the essay as a whole and, most importantly, whether you have answered the essay question.
Edit paragraphs
Go through each paragraph and ask yourself lots of questions to make sure they say what you want them to.
Proofread
Little mistakes can make a bad impression, so check your spelling, grammar, punctuation and clarity.
Get a second opinion
When you think you've improved your work as much as you can, ask someone whose opinion you trust to read your essay. Most of the time, they will pick up things you've missed.
Tidy your work
Look over your work one last time to make sure it's neat and tidy, so you don't lose marks for messy presentation.
