These 5 tips are simple and easy to follow, but some still forget to do them. The most basic tip to remember is to relax, so as not to forget any of the 5 tips in this entry.
· Make Logical Guesses – remember that if you don’t answer, you don’t get a mark and you don’t get a deduction for guessing wrong. Try to leave a couple of minutes after the reading test for guessing the questions you couldn’t find the answers to. Try to keep your guess as logical as possible. As for questions that require the True/False/Not Given or Yes/No/Not Given answers, if the question sound logical and true but you don’t remember encountering it in the passage, there’s a high probability that the answer is Not Given.
· Give one answer only – unless you were specifically asked to give more than one answer, give only one answer. Even if one of your answers is correct, you will not get a mark. It’s important to note that some questions may have multiple possible answers; it doesn’t mean you can put all the possible answers on the answer sheet.
· Check the grammar – Plural or singular forms, verb forms and all other grammatical forms, it is good to always consider grammar when answering the Reading and Listening test.
· Check the spelling – avoid spelling words in slang; avoid using SMS or tweeter style spelling. You are not sending a message or tweet to a friend, you are engaged in an English proficiency exam and spelling is included in evaluating your proficiency in English.
· Make sure your answers can be easily read – it doesn’t matter if you wrote the correct answer, if the person marking can’t understand your penmanship. If in doubt, answer in block letters. A B C D E F, a b c d e f. Be careful when writing the following letters, E and F, I J and L, M and N, U and V. Practice and have someone else check if they can understand your penmanship.
