Strategy · how to approach Writing Task 1 (Academic)
- Read the task instructions carefully; formats that look similar often score differently.
- Answer everything: blank responses earn zero in every scoring model.
- Review your mistakes against the explanation, not just the answer key. The reasoning is what transfers to the exam.
- Practise under timed conditions; pacing is a trained skill, not a personality trait.
