Memo

Remember to type your reference initials in this letter exactly the same way as you typed them in Options, Personal Information, Your initials box. When you type your reference initials and press Enter to move to the next line to type the enclosure notation, Word might change the first initial of your reference initials to uppercase. Word's "AutoCorrect" feature is trying to make sure that the first word in a new line is capitalized. You can either correct the capitalization when you're done; or as soon as you notice the auto correction, click the Undo button or press Ctrl-Z. If you want to permanently stop AutoCorrect, in Word click Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and uncheck all the boxes as shown in the screen shot at the right.

Practice Test, Lesson 35, Correspondence 35-19
Block-Style Letter and Envelope
25 minutes

The goal on any practice test is to have zero scoring errors and zero formatting errors on the first created, scored attempt within the time limit just as you will be required to do when you come on campus for your actual test. If you edit the document instead of recreating it, I will not even look at that attempt, so don’t waste your valuable time editing. I only grade the first scored attempt. In other words, YOU MAY NOT EDIT A PRACTICE TEST! If you exit and find you had any errors, click Create . . . (not Edit . . .) and try it again. You may try to recreate a practice test as many times as you want to and you should. This is how you prepare yourself for a test in which you get one attempt only.

Goal: Zero scoring errors and zero formatting errors on the first attempt in 25 minutes maximum.

This document has been designated as a practice test because it is very similar to the actual document processing test you will take when you come on campus next week.

Remember to type your reference initials in this letter exactly the same way as you typed them in Options, Personal Information, Your initials box. When you type your reference initials and press Enter to move to the next line to type the enclosure notation, Word might change the first initial of your reference initials to uppercase. Word's "AutoCorrect" feature is trying to make sure that the first word in a new line is capitalized. You can either correct the capitalization when you're done; or as soon as you notice the auto correction, click the Undo button or press Ctrl-Z. If you want to permanently stop AutoCorrect, in Word click Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and uncheck all the boxes as shown in the screen shot at the right.

bulletClick the Create Correspondence 35-19 button and type this document correcting all typos and formatting errors. Remember to type an envelope and add it to the document.
bulletIf you exit and find you had any errors, click Create . . . (not Edit . . .) and try it again.
bulletAfter you exit and score your document with zero errors, click Portfolio.
bulletIn the Student Portfolio window, click the desired lesson and exercise, and click the View Text button.
bulletIn the report header, look at Time in MS Word to see how much time you spent working on the exercise. The elapsed time begins when you click the Create or Edit button and ends when you click GDP, Return to GDP.

Note: You will need to know proofreaders' marks to be prepared for next week's test, which is a rough draft letter with proofreaders' marks. Review 27E, Basic Proofreaders' Marks, pp. 68-69, and 29E, More Proofreaders' Marks, p. 76. You can also look up these marks in GDP's online Reference Manual, Contents tab, Proofreaders' Marks.

Note: Remember—when you come in for testing next week, you will have only one attempt on any document and it must be perfect—no typos and no formatting errors and it must be completed within the time limit.
