How the test works

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

Though Mateo knew already what he was going to study at university, he was really struggling to pick the country where he would spend the next three years. He wanted it to be a French-speaking country, but he was also looking for a change of scenery. He already knew France very well, since he had spent all his summers there between the ages of 2 and 18. In the end, he decided in favour of Quebec. It would be the first time that he would cross the Atlantic Ocean, which he dreaded a little. But what an exciting new adventure!
