So I just found out I didn't pass the OSSLT for the second time and honestly I'm pretty frustrated. I did the multiple choice part okay but the writing sections completely got me. My teacher keeps saying to practice my reading responses but I don't even know what they're looking for. I've been trying to find a decent OSSLT practice test that actually mirrors the real thing, not just random reading comprehension stuff from generic sites.
I'm in Grade 11 now so I have one more shot at this in the spring before it becomes a graduation issue. I've set aside like 45 minutes every evening to study and I started working through a study guide I found online, but I'm not sure if I'm focusing on the right things. The news report writing task is what really killed me both times — I just freeze up on format.
Has anyone here actually gone from failing to passing? What changed for you? Any exam tips specifically for the writing tasks would be huge right now.
