Dos

Don'ts

Read the questions before the start of each

section and highlight key words.

Listen out for linking words and discourse markers to help you follow what is happening.

Don't guess any answers unless you cannot find the answer or evidence for an answer and your time is almost up.

Don't worry if you can't understand or hear every word. Remember that the rhythm of spoken English means that the most important words are always stressed the most. Learn to listen for those.

Transfer answers quickly but carefully.

Don't leave any spaces on your answer sheet - you don't lose marks for wrong answers.
