Task response
Ensure a clear and concise introduction that directly addresses the essay prompt. While you mentioned the lack of students in science, a stronger stance or thesis would improve clarity.
Task response
Work on developing more comprehensive and focused paragraphs. Each paragraph should clearly link to the main idea of the essay, and ideas should be explained further with more specific examples or evidence.
Coherence and cohesion
Maintain a clear logical flow throughout your essay. Use transition words effectively and ensure that each paragraph flows naturally to the next. This will improve the essay's readability and coherence.
Coherence and cohesion
Incorporate a concluding paragraph that succinctly summarizes your main points and restates your thesis in light of the evidence provided. This will strengthen your essay's overall cohesion and effectiveness.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
