Here are a couple of tips... brainstorm beforehand about ideas, people, and events that are important to you. You won't know what the test is going to ask about, but it'll get the ideas flowing. Then, when you take the test: (1) Make sure you understand what the question's asking, and really respond to the prompt. That's a big deal. Spend some time reading the prompt and thinking about it, so you'll be able to answer the question, otherwise, you'll be "off-topic," and that's not passing! (2) Write enough detail. Don't just write a couple of sentences or be really general. Think of real-life examples.... things that happened to you, something you saw on the news, what your son did... having details is important to passing! If you're too general, that's not going to pass! (3) Get your writing organized. Have A MAIN IDEA, and tell what it is in the beginning. In the middle, give details that support or give reasons for your MAIN IDEA. In the end, make a conclusion about what you wrote. What's it all mean? Why's it important? If you do those three things, and the readers can understand what you wrote, then you'll pass! Okay, the essay part can be hard.
