Answering the Essay Question

Just like the ACT exam, section 5 of the practice test is the “optional” essay question. You have 30 minutes to complete the essay question.

The essay section works differently than any other test section in this device. It is the only section where you cannot record your answer in the device. You can only record your score.

To write your essay, please use the provided paper. Please use a pencil, not a pen, and write on every line of the paper. Stop writing after 30 minutes, but do not end the section until you have completed the essay. If you end the section before 30 minutes has elapsed, the remaining time for the essay is lost.

To begin the essay question, follow these steps.

1.From the Practice Test Section menu, highlight the essay section and press ENTER.

The Begin Section screen is displayed.

When you begin the essay section, the time limit is displayed in addition to a brief review of the

instructions. If you need more detailed instructions,

press . Note: This is the last opportunity you have to review instructions before the timer begins.

2.Press ENTER.

The timer begins counting as soon as you start the section.
