How to Write Great Essays

HINTS FOR TAKING THE EXAM
◆ Get a good night’s sleep and eat a good meal before the exam.
◆ Bring all required items (such as writing instruments, identification, and/or a
receipt).
◆ If there is a choice, read through the topics quickly to find the one you will write
best on. Don’t change your mind after making your selection.
◆ Underline the key words in your topic.
◆ Write legibly. You won’t get points for neatness, but if they can’t read it, they can’t
score it.
◆ Double space your essay to make it easier to read, and allow room to make cor-
rections and additions if necessary.
◆ Wear a watch, and make a plan for budgeting your time.
