Fixed this essay and think you're done? Try a new prompt to see if you actually mastered it.

Exam performance depends on how standardized your practice routines are.
Step 1: Confirm old fix
Only start transfer check when the blocker in the original essay is confirmed to be resolved.
Step 2: Find similar prompt
Find a new prompt you haven't written before that needs the same writing move.
Step 3: Blind paragraph test
Without viewing the old text or hints, write just that paragraph to test if you can execute the move independently.
