My test preparation included the examination of a wide variety of written material to get to know how different writers utilize the rules of English grammar, took note of how the sentences fit together and followed the rules of the language. I also took practice tests using sample questions and keenly concentrated on areas that test my knowledge of basic grammar and demonstration of my writing skills.
