Behind it lurk many online links, eg to
'adult education', a commercial variety, which offers
creative writing...
And -
another website, trialtest, which helps your kid get into feepaying aussie
schools, even via creative writing, which it seems is now being universally
tested in twenty minutes flat...thus:
Creative writing is an essential and very important component for
success not only in various exams but also in life. The selective school
exam
includes a 20 min creative writing test. Creative Writing PrepT is a
specially
designed program tailored to enhance and improve your child's creative
writing
skills. Through this program your child not only works on various writing
tasks
but can also submit his/her work for assessment and feedback by experts.
Creative Writing PrepT is a comprehensive program which covers writing tasks
of
the following types:
Recount

Factual Description
Exposition
Our Assessment Rubrics are built to assess your child's writing with
Curriculum
Assessment Outcomes: WS3.9, WS3.10 and WS3.11 in focus.
Every writing task submitted for evaluation by your child is measured and
carefully assessed against a set of criterion through a Rubric or a Matrix.
This
Matrix with your child's score for each individual criterion is e-mailed to
you
after assessment of each writing task submitted. Also included in the email
report are the teacher's comments. The feedback which your child receives
will
further improve his/her writing significantly.
You can view the Summary Rubric online in the overall report for your child
along with the teacher's comments.
Owing to the nature of this test, only 1 test is allowed per week. This
ensures
quality feedback as well as gives sufficient time to the child to review and
build up on his/her efforts for the next writing task.
Starting from only AU$30...
