Writing Under Pressure

Timed essays are common on tests. Plan your time: spend a few minutes outlining, then write a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Stay on topic and save a minute at the end to proofread. Practice makes perfect!

Examples

  • Completing a persuasive essay in 40 minutes during a test.

  • Outlining your argument before writing to stay organized.
