This section measures your ability to use writing to communicate in an academic environment. There will be two writing tasks.
For the first writing task, you will read a passage and listen to a lecture and then answer a question based on what you have read and heard. For the second task, you will read an online discussion. A professor has posted a question about a topic, and some classmates have responded with their ideas. You will write a response that contributes to the discussion.
When you see the audio player, it means that there is an audio lecture that you need to listen to. If you would like to see a model essay of the question you are answering, you can refer to the answer key.
When you’re ready, press “Mark Complete” to see the directions for the first writing task.
Note: Your writing will not be saved
