Tip
Remember to read all the questions very carefully. -
Do
Start at the beginning of the test and work through it. If you cannot do a particular question, leave it and go on to the next. You can then return to that question later if you have time. Put a mark next to this question on the Question Paper so that you can find it again quickly. -
Don't
Don't forget that questions can come before the reading passage as well as after.
Writing

Make sure that you read all of the information in the questions very carefully and respond appropriately. -

Listening

Do
Use the time at the beginning of each section (and in the middle of Sections 1 - 3) to look through the questions and think about the topic. -

Speaking
-
Do
Listen carefully to the questions you're asked so that your answers are relevant. -
