Everything you need to know about the exam!
Look for emails, blogs, brochures, adverts, and rule sheets—materials you meet in everyday life. Practising with authentic city or transport websites is excellent preparation.
Underline precisely what the question asks, then check that your chosen option covers every point. If an option is broader or narrower than the text, verify before committing.
Alternate between timed skimming for the gist and scanning for specific details. This balance mirrors what the exam expects.
