6 Become familiar with the screen format for typed responses

When you have to type your response for item types such as Write essay or Summarize spoken text, there is a box on the screen for you to type in.

 

 



To edit your response, you can cut, copy and paste text using the ‘Cut’, ‘Copy’ and ‘Paste’ buttons below the writing box.

While you write, the ‘Total Word Count’ at the bottom of the screen shows the number of words you have written.

Important Test Tips

* Do
Use correct punctuation for writing tasks: full stops, capital letters, commas, etc
Answer the question. If the question asks you to write or speak about sport, write or speak about ‘sport’ NOT ‘science’
Keep strictly within the word limit given for writing tasks
Respond quickly and keep speaking during speaking tasks. The microphone will close after 3 seconds of silence and stop recording

* Don’t
Write ENTIRELY in capital letters. Only use capitals when needed: at the beginning of sentences, names, etc
Click Next (N) before you have completed the task and are ready to move on
