The midterm for this course is great practice for the Writing Sample Placement Test. To prepare for this besides writing preparation, I am going to be sure I get a full night’s sleep at least eight hours. This help me stay focus being that the exam is on the computer. When I am on the computer when I am tired I start to dose off and the word tend to blur together. I am also going to need to eat before hand. I cannot eat anything to heavy because it will also cause me to get sleepy. Am also going to need to take this exam in either the library or the cyber loft in the web because when I am in my room I tend to get distracted and side tracked easily. Being that this is time I don’t have the time to waste. Also, being that we can use the editing checklist, I need to add to look out for sentence structure. Be sure that I don’t have any dependent clauses as a sentence. Grammar is a place that I know is a tough spot for me and I need work in this area so I have to be sure that I am careful with this. Also I have to manage time well, so I have time to reread my essay a few times before submitting it.
