Answer:
Actually, the correct answer to the question: Most of the time spent on a standardized essay will be actually writing the essay, is, false.
Explanation:
A standardized essay, usually appears within a testing format that has a time limitation, which means, usually, people make the serious mistake of spending their alloted time writing. In this case, the assumption above, would be true. However, this is not the case. In standardized writing, where there is time limitation and an incapacity to perform extra tasks that are present in non-timed essay writing, the need lays first on taking more time on question analysis, and in planification of the content and structure that will be used to respond to the task, well, and within the time limitation. So the assumption is false, because in standardized testing, what is expected is for the person to spend almost equal amounts of time first reading and analyzing the question, and then, speedily planning what will be said, and how it will be said, as well as the structure that will be used. Then, when that is done, should the writing start.
