2 questions~

Hi guys, my school is having an English practice exam next week and i'm panicking about writing 3 pieces of writing in 3 hours. I'm generally a fast writer compared to most of the students but i'm still unconfident about writing 800 words for each piece in 1 hour each.

C+P, language analysis, and context.
Which piece usually takes the longest to do?

And also with my SACs, my marks are not bad but all the comments say that i need to improve on my clarity of expression. I know it depends on the individual, but does anyone have some tips to help me out?

thanks.

1. The language analysis piece usually takes the shortest time, and then context and text response takes about the same time, but I guess it differs from person to person. So around 50 - 55 mins for language analysis and an hour for context and text response, with the ideal being that you get some time left over to re-read/edit your work.

2. Perhaps being more concise and precise with your language and avoid convolution and "rambling-ness". Also, maybe set your essay out in a logical order that culminates at your overall contention and avoid having ideas thrown around all over the place.

That's all I can think of at the moment, hope this helps.
