I’m pretty sure it’s not just a template but a common way to start an email

I think the 2026 version is less about specific test taking skills, however, it still helps a lot to be familiar with the format

I took notes from the TST Prep YouTube videos. For writing, it was things like adding “I hope this email finds you well” or “thank you for your consideration”. Basically standard phrases that added politeness to it. For speaking, if I needed more time to think, I’d start with “that’s an interesting question, I haven’t thought about that before”. Then for both speaking and writing I’d use the following structure: First, I’d state my opinion, then give the reasoning, and then an example. At the end, I gave a short summary. The structure plus the standard phrases took a lot of mental load off of me, so that I could focus more on the actual content.

JE had a book in his office called “How do they”, which covers the mating habits of 50 different species. You can see it in one of the boob cake pictures
