what do you think would be the worst way

0:02

to fail your Cambridge English exam now

0:05

of course there is no good way to fail

0:07

an exam but what do you think would be

0:09

the worst way perhaps not using enough

0:11

Advanced vocabulary to really impress

0:13

the examiners or maybe making silly

0:16

little grammar mistakes even though you

0:18

know the grammar yeah that would be

0:20

really frustrating but I think the worst

0:24

way to fail your exam would be just

0:26

running out of time so not being able to

0:29

complete some of the tasks and therefore

0:31

getting zero marks in those tasks and

0:35

that's the worst way and the most

0:36

frustrating way because it has nothing

0:38

to do with your English level right it's

0:40

just down to a lack of preparation and

0:43

not having a good time management

0:45

strategy for example in the reading and

0:47

use of English you need to know that you

0:49

you will have to dedicate more time to

0:51

the reading tasks than the use of

0:53

English tasks and in the writing you'll

0:55

need to be able to write two

0:56

compositions in an hour and a half
