Tips for Write Essay
- Answer the question that was set. Content is marked on that alone, and a content score of 0 means nothing else is scored.
- Stay inside 200–300 words. Under 120 or over 380 words, the essay scores 0.
- Show your logic with connectives — however, because, as a result — and vary your sentence length.
- Leave two minutes to read it back. Spelling is its own trait, and it is marked in context.
