My dear, you must treat those 25 minutes like a tight embroidery deadline—plan your pattern before you ever put needle to thread. For a 15-mark essay, spend the first five minutes making a firm outline; your 'thesis' is your centre motif and each paragraph a supporting 'boota'. This leaves you twenty minutes to fill them in with strong, running stitches of explanation.
From stitching 'zari' on silk, I know a beautiful border is wasted if the central design is weak. Similarly, I earned my MA in History not by writing more, but by having a clear argument from the very first minute. A hurried, meandering start will cost you more marks than a short, sharp finish.
