For essay subjects as well, there's a way about writing the exam essay that isn't what you'd do if you wrote an essay for a magazine or a book.

I wrote quite a few economics essays according to a bland template: introduce the question, arguments for with authors, arguments against with authors, conclusion.

Doing this over and over is a learning exercise in and of itself.
