Edit a Writing Skill Topic's Properties

You can override the Study Plan properties for a topic by editing the topic's properties. For example, you can change the mastery score for a topic or specify a different number of practice sets. You can also reset the edited properties to the global Study Plan properties.

4. Click Set Properties button for a topic.
5. Do any of the following:
   • Change the settings as needed. (See Study Plan Properties for details on the settings.)
