The final section: Writing. Two tasks. First, a short message to a colleague: “We need to reschedule tomorrow’s 10 AM meeting. Suggest a new time.” Easy. Second, a longer email to a manager proposing a change to the office layout. She typed carefully, avoiding the subjunctive mood entirely, sticking to can and should and would be good . She finished with thirty seconds to spare. She did not re-read it. Re-reading was a path to madness.
Elena’s workstation was number seven. The headphones were sticky. The monitor flickered once, then settled into the sterile Aptis interface. Her heart did a slow, painful roll as the first section loaded: Grammar and Vocabulary.
