efore
you begin this book, it’s a good idea to find out how much you already know and how much
you need to learn about the essay-writing process. This test is designed to help you do that. It con-
sists of two parts. Part 1 contains 20 multiple-choice questions addressing
several key components
in this book. Part 2 asks you to write your own essay and evaluate it according to the criteria provided.
You can use the space on the pages following Part 2 to record your answers and write your essay. Or, if you
prefer, simply circle the answers directly for Part 1. Obviously, if this book doesn’t belong to you, use
separate sheets
of lined paper to write your responses.
Take as much time as you need for Part 1 (although 20 minutes is an average completion time). When you’re
finished, check your answers against the answer key at the end of this book. Each answer
tells you which lesson
deals with the concept addressed in that question. Set aside another 30 minutes to complete Part 2.
