Some online courses and videos online advise students to vary their verb tenses in order to impress the examiner. This is normally terrible for your score. Varying verb tenses in your writing for non-communication reasons leads to very inconsistent writing. What impresses examiners is the correct use of tenses. If you need to write a letter about a past experience and you start talking about the future it is very confusing to read.
