Time division for a 30' TOEFL essay

One of the biggest dilemmas students face with essay examinations is how to make the best use of their time during the test. Certainly, the amount of time each student will need to make an outline, write the essay, and proofread will vary. However, all of these steps are necessary to produce a clear, organized essay with few grammatical errors. Below is a suggested way to divide the limited time you are given:

1-3 minutes-Read and Paraphrase Question 3-5 minutes-Plan, Prewritten

17-20 minutes-Write Essay

5-7 minutes-Proofread, Correct Essay
