How the test works

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

The other day, I participated in a mathematics competition at my school. There were students from different school years and everyone was very excited to demonstrate their mathematical skills. In the competition, we had to solve problems of different levels of difficulty within a limited time. Some were arithmetic, others geometry and there were also logic problems. I felt a little nervous at first, but I focused on the problems and I worked on them the best I could. At the end of the competition, the winners were announced. Although I didn't get first place, I received a certificate and a small trophy for my participation. It was a magnificent experience!

I'll be right with you...
