Theatex as higher education assessment_9 pot

M uch like the previous practice exams in this book, this one is divided into three sections: a Read- ing section, a Mathematics section, and a two-part Writing section that consists of multiple- choice questions and one essay topic on which you are to write from 300–600 words. For this exam, you should simulate the actual test-taking experience as closely as you can. Work in a quiet place, away from interruptions. Use the answer sheet on the following page and, as you did before, write your essay on a separate piece of paper. Before you begin, decide in what order you are going to do the sections. Use a timer and allow yourself five hours for the entire exam. After the exam, use the answer explanations that follow to find out which questions you missed and why.
