Exam training tips
Even if you feel confident about your English abilities, you need to familiarise yourself with the format of the exam before the day of the test. You should give yourself at least a week, if not a great deal more time, in order to do this. It is essential that you do practice tests before the exam, and that you do at least one or more of those tests under time pressure.
