Section III Writing
Practice Test 1
Section III: Writing
2 Essays
Directions: In this section, you plan and write two essays, one for each topic given. Read each
topic carefully to make sure that you are properly addressing the issue or situation. You must
write on the specified topic. An essay on another topic will not be acceptable.
Plan your time wisely. Each essay is weighted equally. Plan to spend the same amount of time
on each.
The two essay questions are designed to give you an opportunity to write clearly and effectively.
Use specific examples whenever appropriate to aid in supporting your ideas. Keep in
mind that the quality of your writing is much more important than the quantity.
Write your essays on the special answer sheets provided. No other paper may be used. Your
writing should be neat and legible. Because you have only a limited amount of space in
which to write, please do not skip lines, do not write excessively large, and do not leave wide
margins.
You may use the bottom of the topic page in the text booklet to organize and plan your essay
before you begin writing.
Topic 1
