Writing

  1. Five-minute planning: position, two ideas, development9 minWeak essays are rarely a grammar problem — they are a planning problem. Spend five minutes before you write a word, and the essay almost writes itself.
  2. Cohesion with meaning: reference words and logical connectors8 minScorers reward writing that hangs together, but stacking "Moreover, Furthermore, In addition" does not create cohesion. Real cohesion comes from reference words that point back clearly and connectors that name an actual logical relationship.
  3. Task 1: the overview sentence8 minThe one sentence examiners look for first — how to find the big picture in any chart and state it without numbers.
