27 When writing responses, make sure the Caps Lock on the keyboard is OFF

Your written responses should be in correct English and also in the correct form. Writing responses all in capital letters is inappropriate for the test. Use capitals for the beginning of a sentence and for names. Check all the punctuation when you edit your response, including commas.
