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 was offered a new job, I decided to move house. I had lived in the same neighbourhood for ten years. Therefore, leaving was harder than I had imagined. I gave away many things that I no longer needed. Even so, I still had dozens of boxes. On moving day, everything seemed to go wrong. The removal van arrived two hours late. To make matters worse, it started raining. If I had known, I would have chosen another day. Fortunately, my friends stayed until everything was inside. The first few nights felt rather strange. I missed the places that had become familiar. However, I gradually began to settle in. I have already met several of my new neighbours. Although I still miss my old home, I am beginning to enjoy this fresh start.

Getting that for you now...
