Best structure for essay section. Please help!

Hi, I am sitting the GAMSAT Ireland on Saturday so would really like to get some opinions quickly! I sat the GAMSAT in September and achieved 65 on the essay section, so not a bad score but would like to try and boost it this time. To practice I purchased the Griffiths Essay course and have written and submitted 10 essays with mostly good feedback. The problem is the Griffiths course recommends using a structure I have never used before. In September I wrote my essays using a Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis structure recommended in lots of GAMSAT material and on various forums. The Griffiths course recommends using an 8 paragraph formula and, this is the crucial bit that is worrying me, picking one side of the argument (Essay A) and arguing for that. So not giving a balanced two sided view of the issue. My worry is that maybe GAMSAT markers are looking for people who can see two sides of an argument and therefore if I use Griffiths structure I could lose marks. However, the benefits of using the Griffiths formula is that it does help write a very clear argument and minimises waffling. What do people think?
