How to Effectively Discuss and Understand 85 score with my English Teacher

Hi everyone,

I received 85 on an English essay 3 times. Every single office hour with my Eng teacher, he told me it was well-written. I’m a bit puzzled about where I might have fallen short and would love some advice on approaching my teacher for feedback. I aim to understand the fundamental reasons behind my score.

Any tips on specific questions to ask or how to frame my request would be really helpful!
