Section 1 Time: 25 minutes Essay Directions: In the essay, you will demonstrate how well you develop and present ideas. Your goal is to clearly use language, firmly take a point of view, and logically advance your argument. You must use only the space provided, which will be adequate if you pay attention to handwriting size and margins. Avoid leaving extra space, such as through double-spacing or leaving a blank line between paragraphs. Write legibly so the scorers of your essay can understand what you have written. You may use your test booklet to take notes and organize your thoughts, but only what is written on the answer sheet will be scored. There are 25 minutes in which to write your essay. Carefully read the prompt and your assignment. Respond only to the assignment—off-topic essays will receive a zero. CHAPTER Practice Test 1 4 75 –PRACTICE TEST 1– 76 Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. —Winston Churchill Assignment: Persistence in the face of failure is not always rewarded by success. Many people struggle for years without achieving their goal(s). Is there a point at which it makes sense to “throw in the towel?” Do you agree or disagree with the familiar saying “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”? Plan your response, and then write an essay to explain your viewpoint. Support your position with specific examples and evidence, which may be from personal experience or observations; your reading or studies; or knowledge of subjects such as history, literature, and science. –PRACTICE TEST 1– 77 –PRACTICE TEST 1– 78 Section 2 Time: 25 minutes 35 multiple-choice questions ANSWER SHEET: –PRACTICE TEST 1– 79 1.abcde 2.abcde 3.abcde 4.abcde 5.abcde 6.abcde 7.abcde 8.abcde 9.abcde 10.abcde 11.abcde 12.abcde 13.abcde 14.abcde 15.abcde 16.abcde 17.abcde 18.abcde 19.abcde 20.abcde 21.abcde 22.abcde 23.abcde 24.abcde 25.abcde 26.abcde 27.abcde 28.abcde 29.abcde 30.abcde 31.abcde 32.abcde 33.abcde 34.abcde 35.abcde . 1– 77 –PRACTICE TEST 1– 78 Section 2 Time: 25 minutes 35 multiple -choice questions ANSWER SHEET: –PRACTICE TEST 1– 79 1.abcde 2.abcde 3.abcde 4.abcde 5.abcde 6.abcde 7.abcde 8. abcde 9.abcde 10.abcde 11.abcde 12.abcde 13.abcde 14.abcde 15.abcde 16.abcde 17.abcde 18. abcde 19.abcde 20.abcde 21.abcde 22.abcde 23.abcde 24.abcde 25.abcde 26.abcde 27.abcde 28. abcde 29.abcde 30.abcde 31.abcde 32.abcde 33.abcde 34.abcde 35.abcde
