2024-25 Practice Packets
CURRENT EVENTS PRACTICE PACKETS INCLUDE 6 TESTS PER SUBJECT:

  • Feature Writing

  • Editorial Writing

  • News Writing

  • Headline Writing

  • Copy Editing (in packets dating to 2019 - present)

Packets published before 2019 do not include Copy Editing because the contest was still in its pilot stage with UIL at that time, and the price is lower for that reason. If you are interested in additional Copy Editing exams, we published Copy Editing Practice Packets from spring 2016 through fall 2018 which are available here.

You may also pre-order Packet 2 (ships January 2024)

In addition, some older Journalism Practice Packets are available for half-price. Please contact our office at (830) 367-3825 for availability!
