GED Essay
As some of you may know, I'm taking the GED in a few weeks. Now, I don't think I'll have any problems with most of the tests, but the one I am worried about is the essay. All you have to do is write a simple 5-paragraph essay in 45 minutes on a random topic they assign you, but I am absolutely blockheaded when it comes to writing. I just know I'm going to sit there and freeze, and not be able to come up with anything at all. Any ideas for, well, coming up with ideas? I'm studying with a book, but it's only helping a little. Any tips or tricks for writing a timed essay? A gameplan I should follow? I'm all right at writing when I'm not timed, I've done lots of research papers for school, but I am very unimaginative when it comes to writing 'on the spur of the moment', if you will. Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated, and please, no derogatory comments. Writing a 5-paragraph essay may seem simple to some, but that's not the case with me. I have academic strengths, but writing is not one of them.
