How to use timed practice
In the test you have 60 minutes for both tasks. Most candidates spend about 20 minutes on Task 1 and 40 on Task 2, because Task 2 counts twice as much. Plan for the first five minutes, write, and keep five minutes at the end to check grammar and spelling.
Before you start, review the Task 2 essay structure or the guide to General Training letters.
