TIPS OF THE MONTH- JUNE

Archived tips

Reading

  • Tip
    Use the information provided in the notes, tables, diagrams or flow-charts, as well as any examples, to predict the type of information that is required.
  • Do
    Read the instructions for each set of questions very carefully: it is important to do exactly what you are asked to do
  • Don't
    Don't become anxious if there are questions you cannot answer. Leave them and move onto the next questions. You can always come back to the ones you couldn't answer at the end of the test if you have time.

Writing

  • Do
    Make sure that, for Task 1, you copy data accurately from the question paper.
  • Don't
    Don't leave out any required information.

Listening

  • Do
    Check that what you write makes sense in the context.
  • Don't
    Don't copy any words that were printed on the Question Paper when you transfer your answers to the Answer Sheet.

Speaking

  • Do
    Use the preparation time in Part 2 to think about what is written on the card.
  • Don't
    Don't worry if you can't think of a word, try to paraphrase and get round it.
