I totally agree with what you said about the outweigh essay.
I somewhat agree with what you said about the agree/disagree essay.
For people who need band 7 and would like band 8 I agree.
For people who MUST get at least band 8 or 9 it may be better to use a “somewhat agree” approach for some topics.
