WT1 Samples

On the following pages you find a wide range of sample written tasks. As many of us learn through example, you will want to study the good samples carefully and avoid the mistakes that have been made by other students.

While written task 1 invites you to creatively explore your course work, it also comes with pitfalls. We suggest you check out the tips page to see an overview of common mistakes and suggestions on how to avoid them. You can check to see if these samples include all of the ingredients of a good written task.

We also suggest you familiarize yourself with the assessment criteria for written task 1 before you begin to assess the samples presented here. This way you know what to look for as you read them. Furthermore you can compare your assessment of the sample material to the examiner's.
