ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Use an entry procedure appropriate for a standard, nonstandard, published, or non-published holding pattern.

Bottom line

The standardized procedures should be followed to ensure that an aircraft remains within the boundaries of the prescribed holding airspace. If a holding pattern is not charted at the fix, pilots are expected to hold on the inbound course using right turns.
