Technical Writing

That guide looks pretty good. My test seemed to have a lot of "fix this sentence" type questions where they would have a poorly worded/written sentence and ask you to pick the best sentence to replace it with. There was also at least one instance where they gave me 5 or 6 sentences and required I sort them into a cohesive paragraph.

I didn't find it particularly hard but I was surprised to see a 58 score (I thought I did better)...surprised again to learn that a 58 = "A" at COSC.

Best,

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Thanks Lady Grace and rebel100! I passed with 61! I wish I'd studied abstracts and executive summaries more in depth, but that guide proved very useful for the terms on the test (and there were a lot)! There also weren't as many "improve this sentance/paragraph" questions as I was expecting.
