Read the directions that follow. 

1. The TWE essay question is printed on the inside of this test book. You will 
    have 30 minutes to plan, write, and make any necessary changes to your essay. 
    Your essay will be graded on  its overall quality. 

2. Read the topic carefully. You may want to read it more than once to be sure you 
    understand what you are asked to write about. 

3. Think before you write. Making notes may help you to organize your essay. 
    Below the essay topic is a space marked NOTES. You may use this area to 
    outline your essay or make notes. 

4. Write only on the topic printed on the inside. If you write on a different topic, 
     your essay will not be scored. Write clearly and precisely. How well you write is 
     much more important than how much you write, but to cover the topic adequately, 
     you may want to write more than one paragraph. 

5. Start writing your essay on the first line of Side 3 of the TWE answer sheet. 
    Use Side 4 if you need more space. Extra paper will not be provided. Write neatly 
    and legibly. Do not skip lines. Do not write in very large letters or leave large margins. 

6. Check your work. Allow a few minutes before time is called to read over your 
    essay and make any changes. 

7. After 30 minutes, you will be instructed to stop and put your pencil down. You 
    MUST stop writing. If you continue to write, it will be considered cheating.
