Plan the work. Although you may only have a couple of hours to write this essay, taking a few minutes at first to develop a quick plan will help you get the most out of it or find online college homework help.
- Read the directions carefully! If the question asks you to take a position, do so. If you are asked to evaluate the events that led to the fall of Rome, don't just summarize Roman history.
- Make an idea map. You may not have time to make a formal outline. However, having an idea about the main points you would like to make and how they relate to each other will help you structure your essay. If you can't figure out how to connect the main points, it will be a sign that you need to think a bit more before you start writing.
- Determine the plot. Once you've jotted down a few main points, find out what you would like to say about them. Even timed essays need a unified argument or thesis.
Schedule writing strategically. If
your essay includes more than one question and you have a deadline to
answer them, be sure to allow enough time to answer them all. Also, it's also a good idea to check how much each essay question scores.
- For example, you don't want to spend as much time and effort answering a three-paragraph question that is worth 20% as you do answering a two-page question that is worth 60%.
- If you see a question that seems more difficult, it may be a good idea to tackle it first. This way, you will deal with the difficult while you are still fresh.
Eliminate the superficial. Too often, students set out to write their ideas after wasting an entire paragraph with meaningless generalizations. Especially in timed rehearsals, it is very important to go directly to the main argument and provide the appropriate evidence. If you spend too much time on the introduction, you may not have time to write later.
- If you notice that your introductory paragraph begins with something broad or wildly general, like, "Throughout the history of time, science has fascinated humans," delete it.
- In a timed essay, don't include anything that doesn't support your position. If you are going to talk about the importance of religious beliefs in modern society, don't weaken the point by also referring to socialism, Hollywood, and banana cultivation.
Explain what the connections are between the claims and the evidence. A
common problem in essays, especially those that are written under
pressure, is that students often present evidence without explaining how
it refers to their claims. Be sure to follow the “AEE” formula (Statement-Evidence Explanation) in each paragraph:
- Affirmation. It is the main argument of the paragraph. It's probably in the topic sentence.
- Evidence. It is the supporting detail that proves your claim.
- Explanation. Connect the evidence to the statement and explain why the evidence proves what you say.
- If something in your paragraph doesn't fit any of those three elements, it's a good sign that it's unnecessary.
Leave some time to review. Even if your minutes are counted, you'll want to allow some time to review. That involves more than correcting spelling and other minor errors. Reread the entire essay.
- Does the essay really demonstrate and support the main argument, according to the thesis? It is not uncommon for ideas to evolve as you write. If that happens, adjust the thesis accordingly.
- Do the paragraphs flow easily from one to the other? The timed essays do not have the same standards as the normal ones, but the reader should still be able to follow the argument with a logical progression, without feeling lost or dragged from one side to the other.
- Does the conclusion you present summarize the argument? Don't let the essay remain unfinished. The conclusion, however brief, will help your essay appear complete.
Tips
- Connectors like "elsewhere", "in effect", and "in fact" can make the essay flow better.
- Don't over-inflate the essay. The reader will want to get to the point as quickly as possible.
- Don't forget the indentation at the beginning of each new paragraph.
