State-Wide Writing Test, I keep failing, and its required. Options

[ilikeyerrpants]

Is there anyone in GA, or anyone period, who has to take a state-wide writing test? I've took it twice and failed both times. I have two more times to try, and after that if I don't pass them, I can't graduate.

I'm a senior now, and without passing this writing test, I will have worked too hard for nothing.

I almost pass every time. The highest possible score to pass is like 200, and I always make around 197.

Is there any tips anyone can give me?

You have got to be kidding. Are you referring to the high school graduation writing test in Georgia? Easiest thing ever. I scored in the 97th percentile. How hard could you possible have been working to be unable to pass that test? The gateway was somewhat more difficult, but I think they did away with those, and they may have only been in Gwinnett anyway. Seriously, if you can write in complete sentences and form any sort of opinion on the topic, you should be able to pass.
