Brief Info

  • The writing section has total four passages and all questions are multiple-choice question.
  • Each passage consists of 11 questions: a total of 44 questions in 35 minutes.
  • Some passages have graphical information linked to the passage and a couple of questions are based on the interpretation of these graphs.
  • The writing is part of the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section with a total score of 800 for both reading and writing.
  • Each of the underlined words or phrases must be read carefully to get the right answer. Some questions involve reading the whole passage and interpreting a graph. For instance, you may be asked to pick a sentence that corrects a false impression that elucidates the significance of the given data.
  • The writing section passages range from social studies, humanities, science, careers and history.

The Writing and Language Test assesses a various skills.

  • It tests the foundation of writing such as sentence structure, usage, and punctuation, change words, clauses, sentences, verb tense, parallel construction, subject-verb agreement, and comma use.
  • A few questions ask you to pick the best words to use based on the content close to them. Your objective should be to create a reading passage that is accurate or succinct, or to improve the tone, style or syntax.
  • Having command over evidence helps you to improve the way passages expand information and ideas. For example, the right answer choice would be to choose a response that hones a challenging claim or includes an important supporting point.
  • A passage’s organization and impact is also tested. For instance, you may be asked about words or structural changes that improve the passage and how well its sentences and paragraphs work together.
  • The four passages would be a combination of topics from history, social studies, and science and a critical eye is required to make editorial changes and correct errors.
