These two things are essential. It’s also important to manage your time well in the test. We recommend spending a few minutes writing a short plan before you begin writing your answer. 

Here are some reasons why: 

  1. A plan improves your Task Response score as it enables you to think about the main points and the question before you start writing. 

  2. A plan helps you structure your essay better. This will give you a higher Cohesion and Coherence score. 

  3. You only have about forty minutes. Making a plan will mean you won’t have to keep stopping while you write your response to think about what you want to say.
