o gauge how much your essay-writing skills and your understanding of the writing process have
improved, take the following posttest. Though the questions differ from those on the pretest, the for-
mat and material covered are the same, so you will be able to directly compare results.
When you complete the test, check your answers, and then compare your score with the one you received
on the pretest. Your new score should be significantly higher, but if it’s not, review the lessons that teach the skills
on which you tested poorly. Whatever your score, keep this book on hand for reference as you continue on your
academic journey.
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, though, if this book doesn’t belong to you, use sep-
arate 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.
