The test is in a booklet format so I was able to first read through the exam and then began by answering all the questions I knew first. It benefits the tester in a few ways: it allows time for memory recall, sometimes hints can be found in other areas, and most beneficial is time management. I had quite a bit of time left at the end to outline answers for the questions I was not sure about. Those brief answers were balanced by full and complete answers of the questions I did know. The only downsides, your hand does get tired and grading takes longer. Overall, in my opinion, this method allows the student to make the most of points awarded for partial answers.
Did you take *both* English Comp I & II via the paper format? According to the TESU's description, it looks like English Comp I is just three essays w/ no other "tasks." So, maybe that one is manageable via the online option?
