This Practice SE Task

This Practice SE Task is set up very simply:

1. You download the SE.
2. You read the assignment.
3. You imagine how you would go about doing it on a real exam.
4. You write it.
5. You hand it in for feedback.

How does this help you prepare for the SE Writing?

1. You become familiar with the SE.
2. The SE you will do for real will be similar to this one so it will be easier to do because you’ve already seen it once, but with a different topic and consequently, thesis statement.
3. You practice.
4. You get feedback that will help you perform better on this year’s SE.
