MENTIMETER NO. 25: Handwriting.
The reader will be able to count the number of letters written per minute and thereby obtain the score in this test without any key. For the quality of the results of such a test the reader will compare the handwriting of each candidate with the samples printed on page [239].
MENTIMETER NO. 26: English Composition.
This test, like the test for handwriting quality, is a test of the quality of products produced by the candidates rather than of the difficulty of problems solved. Therefore, no set of correct answers is necessary. The quality of the candidate’s composition should be compared directly with the quality of the printed samples appearing on pages [242] to 244.
