- Scored on a 200 to 800 point scale
The Essay
The essay will require students to read an 80-word subject prompt
that makes a statement or claim. Students then need to develop a
position and back it up with examples from schoolwork, literature,
history or their own experience.
The essay doesn't test writing ability, as much as it does other
skills, such as organization, idea development, or supporting an
argument. In fact, the average essay will be graded in just under 2
minutes.
Identifying Sentence Errors

grammatical or syntactical error in it. You'll be asked to identify
the error, or indicate if there is no error. There are 18 "Error
ID" questions.

without changing its meaning. There are 25 Improving Sentence
questions.
Improving Paragraphs

guessed it...you'll be looking at and improving paragraphs. There
are only 6 of these.
