I will prepare for a timed writing exam by first making an outline for what I am going to write. I will need to take a lot of time doing this outline and do it thoroughly so it will actually help me on the exam. By making an outline, I can organize my thoughts, and if I organize my thoughts before I write my paper, I can write a more organized paper faster. Therefore, this should help me on a timed writing exam. However, while I write this outline, I need to be aware of how redundant I make it. I have a big problem with redundancy, and I need to try to fix this problem. Another problem I have is that I forget to make transitions. When I write my outline, I need to be brainstorming how I can transition to different topics throughout my paper.
Another way I can prepare for a timed writing exam is that I can do a lot of research on the topic before I take the exam. I should do the research before I make an outline in order for it to be useful. I need to take the time to read and understand what I research so that it can help me on the exam.
Nevertheless, there are many grammatical concerns that might cause me trouble. The one thing that troubles me the most is comma splices. Before taking the writing exam, I need to study my notes about comma splices and make sure that I know what I am doing; this will help me prepare for the exam. Besides comma splices, spelling is a major grammatical concern. I cannot really do anything to help me prepare for the exam that involves spelling, but I can bring a dictionary with me to the exam. So I can definitely prepare for the exam by making sure I have a dictionary with me that day. By preparing in these various ways, I am taking into account what troubles me before I take the exam.
