In business, writing means single-spaced text and double-spaced between paragraphs. In writing a Self
Assessment Test Essay use the five-paragraph writing style. Use a minimum of three sentences per  
paragraph. (Always, use an odd number of paragraphs and sentences in writing a Self-Assessment Test 
(SAT) Essay. Note that you can have more than five paragraphs and/or three sentences per Self
Assessment Test (SAT) Essay.) Use the word “I” infrequently. Do not use “In my opinion,” or the like.  
These are your words, so just state your thought(s). 
Self-Assessment Test (SAT) Essays based on the Self-Assessment Tests (SATs) should be written using a  
combination of the “assert and defend” style in a five paragraph essay. Think like a lawyer. Assert an  
argument or thesis AND prove or defend it. The “assert and defend” style is simple.
