Put all of the information covered in this chapter to use by taking at least one practice exam.
Arm
yourself with a few topics, paper, pen, and a timer, and write an essay. The
timer will
help you to see
how well you do under pressure, and how well you budgeted your time. When
evaluating
your practice essay, ask yourself:
■
Did I finish the essay?
■
Did I spend an appropriate amount of time planning and revising?
■
Is the essay well-organized?
■
Were there many errors in mechanics?
■
Did I use examples to support my argument?
■
Is the topic addressed directly and thoroughly?
■
How could it be improved?
