Superior Test Preparation

Unique to Strategies for Writers, a dedicated test-writing chapter in each unit improves students’ confidence and performance on high-stakes writing tests. View sample.

In the test-writing chapters, students learn how to

• use time-management strategies to develop automaticity in organizing thoughts, which leads to clear writing results.
• envision scoring rubrics, which enables them to effectively self-assess their composition and develop a clear mental model before they begin writing.
• respond to a writing prompt effectively in testing situations by understanding and identifying the setup, task, and scoring criteria.
