Online Writing Sample Instructions

Students will need to log in to their Vericant account in order to complete their online writing sample. After logging into your Vericant account, please carefully read the important notes and instructions displayed on the screen and confirm your understanding.

The writing sample will last for 30 minutes. The timing will be set by the on-site proctor, not by the time on the computer.
Students can switch between the two available topics during the writing process, but the timing will not restart.
The word limit for the online writing sample is 3,600 characters, including spaces, punctuation, and other formatting elements.

If you leave the writing sample page at any point during the process, your writing sample will be locked automatically.
After completing the writing sample, please click “Finish” to submit your work and log out of your account. You can choose to end the writing sample earlier, but you will not be able to go back to your writing sample once you have submitted it.
Vericant reserves the right to investigate any suspected misconduct during the writing sample. Any instances of misconduct may result in the invalidation of the interview and forfeiture of the interview fee.
