How the test works

Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

I always hated the daily commute that I had to take to go to work. From the neighbourhood where I lived to my office, my only option was to take two buses one after the other, which lasted an hour and a half on average! As a result, I had to get up super early in order not to miss the first bus, and the second bus was packed and often late, which really stressed me out. But in a month, I'll move to an apartment that will be much closer to my office, and I'll be able to go (there) on foot or by bike. It's going to change my life!
