Tips for iBT writing
・The most important requirement is to be logical and to be grammatically correct, along with the use of intellectual (academic) words.
・Make sure to leave at least 3 minutes to complete your essay so as to further elaborate your writing.
・Check spellings and Grammar Rules most carefully.
・Again, don’t try to use difficult words that you are not familiar with. Use only words that you know both its meaning (semantics) and its usage well.
・Rather than focussing on honestly expressing your own personal opinion, pick up the choice whose reasonings and examples you come up with easily in a short time. Remember, time is of the essence.
・Try to include at least one anecdote as it is most convincing as a reason.
