Critical Response and Interpretation of Texts asks you to judge what a text does, not merely what it says. You evaluate the strength of reasoning, the quality and relevance of evidence, the credibility of sources, the presence of bias, and the defensibility of an interpretation.

Writing - Composing and Crafting Text tests your ability to shape writing for a purpose and audience, not just to produce correct sentences. Expect tasks that require a controlling idea, deliberate organization, developed evidence, coherent paragraphs, and revision choices.
