📝 ATLAS Writing Test Tips

• The ATLAS writing test is worth 10 points.
• Use scratch paper to plan your essay.

Use the 4-Square strategy:

• ✏️ Center: Your claim (main opinion)
• 📌 3 boxes: Three reasons that support your claim
• 📝 Bottom: Your conclusion

Make sure your essay includes:

• A clear claim
• 3 reasons with evidence
• A counterclaim (opposing viewpoint) with a response
• Introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion

Also check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation before submitting.

Keep working hard and give your full effort! 💪
