During a normal semester, when we are not all working on line, the CATW test is given in a room where you have your paper dictionaries, several writing utensils, a passage and a blue book to write your answers. You will have 90 minutes to respond to the passage. As you know the first step is to read the passage and annotate on it. Reading and annotating, outline development and summarizing should take no longer than 20-25 minutes. Explain in a few sentences what you plan to do in an on line test in which you will be subject to the same time requirements, but completing all the work in your notebook. How will you manage the time? Since you can’t annotate on the passage, how will you prepare yourself for writing your passage within the same time frame?

Since we can’t annotate the passage online, I will prepare myself for writing my essay within to write an essential point in a separate paper and write an outline by 25 minutes. Write my whole essay no longer than 50 minutes and use the last 15 minutes to check and edit my work.

I think the better way to do is scan the document than annotate it by note talking app. It is quick and we can do the same as on paper test. I we can’t annotate on the passage, I think we should scan reading the whole passage first, then read it carefully and take note on the piece of paper by marking the paragraph number. After read twice, find the vocabulary that still confuses on the reading. Last, read the passage one more time to make sure you understand anything or mostly of the passage.
Since the time in our catw exam is so short, I will read the passage only two times. In those two times I will try to search up unfamiliar words which I believe will make me understand more the text.Then, I will start immediately with writing my introduction and hopefully I will finish me exam.
