For students

Practice on your own or with your class.

Writing practice for the GED and for College Research Writing. Here is how it works for you.

  • Mock exams run like the real GED: three timed forms, each the whole test with its 10-minute break.
  • Practice that targets your skills: every question practices a skill the test measures, area by area.
  • Feedback on every answer, short lessons when you need them, and what to work on next after each essay or assignment.

Your page writes back.

  • Feedback trait by trait, with quotes from your own writing.
  • A score for each GED essay trait, out of 2, and a total out of 6.
  • In College Research Writing, a level from 1 to 4 on each part of the rubric. In a class, your teacher confirms the grade.
  • What to work on next, in up to three steps.

The second author makes the stronger case. She cites a city study that found traffic injuries fell after downtown streets closed to cars. Because her claim rests on evidence, her position is better supported. The first author only predicts that drivers will be angry, he gives no numbers.

  1. Arguments and evidence: Strong evidence. You name the source and what it found.
  2. Ideas and structure: A clear link back to your claim. Now add a second reason.
  3. Clarity and conventions: Run-on sentence. Put a period after "angry".
  • Arguments and evidence 2 of 2
  • Ideas and structure 1 of 2
  • Clarity and conventions 1 of 2

What to work on next: fix run-on sentences. End one idea with a period before you start the next.
