[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although I have a pretty much good understanding on what the students will be asked to write about (one math/science essay plus 4 smaller essays about their past experiences related to the portrait of a graduate), I am missing some smaller details which are not yet clear to me. Hopefully someone with experience from the previous TJ admission tests can help.

1. Since the test is timed, will the students see a clock somewhere to see how much time they have left? Is the clock on the screen or on the wall? Are they allowed to have a small desk digital clock with them?
2. Is the time going to be allotted separately for each test (like 40 mins for the STEM essay + 15 minutes for each portrait essay) or is it going to be available as a big chunk of time where the student can allocate as desired and complete the tests in any order?
3. Is the computer prompt plain-text style or can have MS Word-style formatting with tools like autocorrect etc? (I assume the first)
4. Is there a text box per essay or one big text box to fit everything? In the first case, can the student save the work and change the answer later? (assuming there is time left)
5. When the time expires, does the computer accept the current state of the text as is and stops receiving any input or should the student be proactive and submit just before the time expires? (otherwise there is the risk of not submitting anything?)

These details are small but I believe knowing these beforehand help relieve some of the stress for the students.
Thank you[/quote]

To OP, did you by chance ask this of your MS and if so, any answers?[/quote]
