(Specific information is intended as an example only.)

Note: All documents are due at the end of class today. The final timings will be taken next week during our last day of class.
bulletThe deadline to resubmit all proofreading check documents and assigned documents is the end of class today—NO EXCEPTIONS!!
bullet On the final day of class, final timings will be given and any missing  document testing will be given—NO EXCEPTIONS. Missing document tests will earn a zero.
bulletThe best way to improve your grade at this point is to work on skillbuilding to increase your speed and accuracy so that you will do well on your final timings. It could make the difference between a pass and a fail.
In this last week as you focus your efforts on skillbuilding, you should review the goals for speed and accuracy on a 3-minute timing with 3 errors or fewer:
 
bullet

A = 40+ w.p.m.

bullet

B = 35-39

bullet

C = 30-34

bullet

D = 25-29

bullet

F = 24 or below

The goal on any practice test is to have zero scoring errors and zero formatting errors on the first created, scored attempt within the time limit just as you will be required to do when you take your actual test for a grade of A. If you edit the document instead of recreating it, I will not even look at that attempt, so don’t waste your valuable time editing. I grade the first scored attempt only. In other words, YOU MAY NOT EDIT A PRACTICE TEST! If you exit and find you had any errors, click Create . . . (not Edit . . .) and try it again. You may try to recreate a practice test as many times as you want to and you should. This is how you prepare yourself for a test in which you get one attempt only.

Goal: Zero scoring errors and zero formatting errors on the first attempt in 35 minutes maximum.

Note: Be sure you know how to format paragraph headings as well as side headings in a report. Remember to suppress the page number on the first page.

bulletClick the Tests Only button in the bottom left corner of your Lessons menu.
bulletClick Report Test 2-12 from the menu, and type this document correcting all typos and formatting errors. 
bulletIf you exit and find you had any errors, click Create . . . (not Edit . . .) and try it again.
bulletAfter you exit and score your document with zero errors, click Portfolio.
bulletIn the Student Portfolio window, click this document, and click the View Text button.
bulletIn the report header, look at Time in MS Word to see how much time you spent working on the exercise. The elapsed time begins when you click the Create or Edit button and ends when you click GDP, Return to GDP.

Note: Remember—on your actual test, you will have only one attempt on any document and it must be perfect—no typos and no formatting errors and it must be completed within the time limit for a grade of A.

Note: Your actual test will also include a list. Click here for a review of list formatting, and click Multiline List, Academic Report, for a review of list formatting in an academic report. When you begin to type a numbered list in an academic report, increase the indent so that the double-spaced list is indented to the same point as the paragraph indent. The list is double spaced just like the report.
