Vocabulary and grammar expectations

1:17

exam

1:17

but you don't need to be perfect

1:19

now that may seem like a contradiction

1:21

but let me explain you need to be

1:24

familiar with and comfortable using the

1:26

type of vocabulary and grammar

1:28

that really native english speakers

1:31

don't use in on a day-to-day basis

1:35

for example fiendishly that i used

1:38

a few seconds ago i think that's

1:40

probably the first time i've ever used

1:41

that word in my life

1:44

it's an impressive word but it's not

1:45

really a word native speakers use

1:49

but because your time is limited in this

1:51

exam

1:52

and you need to demonstrate your level

1:54

you need to cram in

1:56

as much impressive vocabulary and

1:59

grammar

1:59

as possible in the time you have

2:01

available

2:02

but as i said you don't have to be

2:04

perfect you're not going to get 100

2:06

in this exam you will make mistakes you

2:09

will get answers wrong

2:11

this is not about perfection yes the c2

2:14

proficiency

2:15

is the highest level in the cambridge

2:17

exams and i think it's

2:19

one of if not the most difficult english

2:22

exam in general

2:23

but yeah you're not looking for

2:24

perfection so you don't feel that

2:27

pressure but

2:28

as i said you need to almost be better

2:30

than a native english speaker to

2:32

demonstrate what a good level you have i

2:35

just wanted
