Read<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having scanned the topics asked in past years, it can safely be concluded that the essays are generally related to banking\/finance, society, education and technology. You need to be updated on the latest happenings and for that, you need to read a lot. Reading a couple of newspapers on a daily basis will help you immensely. Not only do they provide you with different perspectives on different topics, but they also help you with the latest facts & figures. Quoting these facts & figures will most likely impress the examiner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You would have already started writing on different topics. Writing on one topic per day will barely take 15-20 minutes. Gradually, restrict your time limit to 12-15 minutes. This way you will definitely be attuned to writing good content in a limited time. Take 2-3 minutes to structure your thoughts and shortlist the headings you are going to be writing about. When writing, your introduction should familiarize the readers with what the topic is all about. You may like to include a quote as well. In the main body use the headings you shortlisted earlier so that you don\u2019t get lost. When concluding, try to summarize all the points. Take a stand if need be depending upon the title of the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Writing in itself is a good tool to master this skill but evaluating what you\u2019re writing is equally important, if not more. Ask a mentor to evaluate your essay and work on flaws related to grammar, logic, context, lucidity etc. In case a mentor is not available, you yourself have to do the evaluation work by having a look at the good quality essays online on the same subject and comparing them with your own essays. See what kinds of errors you generally make and work to improve upon them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, do sufficient practice typing on a keyboard since the exam will be online. Also, keep in mind that the keyboard provided to you might be a rugged one having some hard keys making your writing task a bit difficult. So be prepared for that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
