How to use a Pre-Mock page

  1. Read the two answers side by side. The same question, written at two grades. Find the sentences the higher answer has that the lower one does not.
  2. Do the drills for your level. Start at the level your teacher gave you. Each drill fixes one move.
  3. Write the mirror mock. Same four parts as the real mock, same timings, different wording.
  4. Ask Coach Owl after each part. It marks the shape of your answer and names the first thing to fix. Fix that one thing, then ask again.
  5. Never paste a model answer. Coach Owl can tell, and it gives a pasted answer 0.
