Darren, you misrepresented the discussion instructions in your essay response. If you review your original instructions, you were asked to
Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.
. The essay should therefore be in a compare and contrast, with a personal supporting opinion format. What you wrote instead is a single opinion defense with a personal opinion as supporting evidence essay. Those are two different essays and the one that you were, doesn't comply with the essay requirements. Based on this fault, you will be deemed by the examiner to not have understood the instructions which will lead to your task accuracy failure. Once you fail the task accuracy party due to faulty English comprehension skills, you will fall the overall test as all other elements for scoring can no longer be considered. Always look at the final discussion instruction, that provides the format for the presentation. If you are not sure of how to approach the essay, then ask clarifying questions while you still can. That is what the practice tests are for.
