Write four short guided texts (letter of complaint, invitation, personal narrative, argumentative paragraph) of 100-140 words each, timed at 20 minutes.

Structure each text with an explicit introduction, development and closing, and verify register (formal vs informal) in salutations and closings.

Sit two full timed mock exams under real conditions and score every section against the domain weightings.

Rehearse the writing routine on two unseen prompts, keeping to 20 minutes per text.

Review the full error log and confirm that at least 80% of entries are marked resolved.
