How the test works

Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

When I lived in Colombia, I infiltrated a drug network that threatened the peace of the region. Under a false identity and an invented story, I began to earn the trust of the criminals. For months, I lived a double life and navigated the dangerous alleys of the underground. So, I entered the bowels of drug trafficking, observing their operations and collecting incriminating evidence. Every step I took was a big risk, but I was ready to do everything to dismantle this criminal organization. Finally, my covert actions paid off and the authorities arrested all the traffickers.
