    I practiced a few on Beckers but just not comfortable (they go into crazy detail)

    Can you get comfortable with this

    I’m scared I won’t know a topic I should or that I draw a blank on the exam.

    Are the formats the same for memos, emails etc

    Is 3 paragraphs typically not enough?

    please help test in 2 days.

    Instead of practicing the written part, I read through the answers on the NINJA written communication (part of the NINJA MCQs). This helped me get a feel for the kind of answers they're expecting, as well as the format I should use based on what kind of response they wanted (email, article, memo, etc).

    Also remember to incorporate as many buzz words as possible since the written part is “graded” by a computer and may not be read by a human.

    I would say three paragraphs is usually enough and probably all you will have time for. After I read a WC, I would write out a quick outline on my laminated paper so that I would stay on track and not leave anything out once I started typing.

    Make sure the crux of the question is somewhere in your memo or whatever.

    No bullet points. If you can write half way decent you'll be ok, and know how to spell too.

    Intro

    2-3 paragraphs

    Closing with the points above summarized and include a thank you somewhere. Done deal
