The Short Writing Response
What Does it Test?• In each OSSLT booklet, there either one or two
short writing response selections.• The purpose of this section is to test:
1. Your ability to form a response to an opinion question in a concise yet detailed way.
2. Your proficiency with writing conventions (spelling/grammar).
How to Approach a Short Written Response Question
• Read the question carefully. Make sure that you understand all of the words. Does it ask for one or more examples?
• Attempt to use all of the lines.• Check over your work for spelling/grammar
mistakes. Correct them by neatly crossing out the error, and writing in your revision either above or below.
