Hey All,
I am beginning to study for BEC and trying to figure out how to prepare for the writing portion of BEC. There isn’t really a way to practice this part and have it actually graded. I am a pretty decent writer as far as my wording, punctuation, and grammar skills. My biggest issue is knowing the content well enough to write memo’s and letters. I can work my way through MCQ’s and SIMS without much issue, but when I have to explain the advantages and concerns. I just kind of freeze up. Part of it is that I have never done well with timed essays. I always have needed time to think things through and research my topics.
Any suggestions and thoughts on how to best tackle this? I know that traditionally, 1 Sim is considered Pre-test. Is one writing assignment considered pretest or do they all count? Any good tips/reminders for the formatting of each writing assignment? Does length or word count play a factor into the grading?
Thanks for your time!
