This chapter helps us write better essay answers. We should read all the directions and questions first. We should take notice of the number of questions, the points for each question, the range of difficulty and the time available. We should write any answers that come to our mind immediately. We should write down any other key information we don't want to forget. We should analyze the test question and divide it into its main parts and sub-parts. From the parts, we should quickly make an outline of what we will write about. We should read the instructional words included in the question carefully. We should make an outline as a "map" to answer the essay question. If we don't have time to finish the whole test, this outline may give us some points. More importantly, the outline helps us to stay focused. We should make our answer as specific as possible. We should use part of the test question sentence in our test answer at the beginning of the paragraph. This tells the reader that we are answering this part of the essay here. It should include a topic statement at the beginning and a conclusion paragraph at the end. Then we should review our answers. We should give our self enough time at the end of the test to check for spelling mistakes, grammar errors, omitted words, incorrect dates, etc.
