In my experience, a mock exam is more than answering the questions, It also involves simulating the conditions under which the real exam will be conducted. These might include
eg You can't ask questions
eg You can't bring in a bag
eg You can't just get up and go out to the bathroom

According to the English Dictionary, mock exam is defined as "an examination, esp in a school, taken as practice before an official examination." What message I intended to convey is as follows:
1. On Mar. 26, I am doing the TOEFL test which includes an item of writing test.
2. In the writing test, every examinee is demanded to write an essay by given topic within 30 minutes.
3. In order to help myself do the exam smoothly, I usually write some essays to sharpen my writing skills.
4. On Mar. 13, there was a TOEFL test taking place here in Taiwan area.
It's writing topic was also released on the Internet.
5. I simulated writing an essay whose topic is the same as the TOEFL test's on Mar. 13. I took it as a practice.
6. Please point out the errors and provide some advice.
