There are two parts to the TSI writing test: the multiple-choice part and the essay. You should spend most of your time writing the essay because if you score an essay level of 2, 3, or 4 and make a 100 on the multiple-choice part, you fail the test. If, however, you score a level 6, 7, or 8 on the essay and a zero on the multiple-choice part, you pass the test.

The score you make on the objective part is only used as a tiebreaker if you score a level 5 on your essay. If you score a level 5 essay and have a 70 average on the multiple-choice part, you pass. Thus, passing the writing section of the TSI largely depends on the essay you write. So, how can you make the best possible score on the essay?
