A. Reading the directions and items at least to to three times to get clarity before completing the assignment.
B. Answers the questions or solving the problems that you know that you know first.
C. Skipping the ones that you have no idea so that you will have time to work on the items that you do know or think that you know.
D. Come back to the questions or problems skipped so that you can make an edit guess.
E. Double check your work to ensure that you've answered the questions.
Here is a basic structure on how to write an essay, or nonfictional prose with several paragraphs with several sentences each:
A. Introduction = opening paragraph that states the topic and two to four reasons that justify the topic
B. Body = at least one middle paragraph that backs up the main ideas in the first paragraph
C. Conclusion = summary of the topic and justification in the first paragraph in about three to five sentences
Hint: You can write your essay that states what the paper is about and the purpose of the paper in about 3 to 5 sentences.
To keep the flow, you can use transitional words including but not limited to:
Yet, Also, Additionally, However, Furthermore, First, Next, Then, Finally, Thus
