How the test works

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

I am a nonagenarian who has always been a member of Athletic Club. It is a really old club! It was founded in 1898 in Bilbao thanks to some enthusiastic students who spent hours playing football at the Lamiako racecourse. It wasn't until years later, in 1928, that Athletic Club made its debut in the First Division, and since then it has played in this category with the exception of the Civil War years. Every weekend it is a pleasure to see San Mamés, its great and huge stadium. There, real stars like Nico Williams and Álex Berenguer play magnificent matches. I hope to see those stars very soon!

Clever stuff happening!
