Self-study
I am taking the writing section today with the goal of taking my first official exam this Saturday, which I am quite nervous about. What should I expect for the writing section? I know its 50 minutes, with 15 being preparation and 35 being writing time. I majored in English and History in undergrad so I am familiar with writing papers, albeit with a far wider timeframe than the one we receive. Does anyone have any last minute tips?
Thank you!

It's pretty straightfoward I would say. I did not take the time to practice and I did not know this- beware that you CANNOT copy and paste anything written in your outline, into the actual essay area. I had no idea and ended up wasting a lot of time retyping three paragprahs which I had written during the 15 minutes for outlining- use that time to read only and create an outline only.
@k13lawwwwww Understood. What exactly are admissions counsel's looking for? Is it mostly clarity or just that you can write in an organized way? I just did a practice exam and ran out of time.
@JosephHindle Hey I found the core curriculum lessons about this to be very helpful. All the best for Saturday!
