Review your exam strategy

5:14

about literally

5:14

opening the exam paper for the reading

5:16

and use of English part one and thinking

5:19

about your strategy how you're going to

5:21

approach each part and for the speaking

5:24

paper think about walking into the exam

5:27

room with the interlocutor the assessor

5:30

your partner and again how you're going

5:32

to answer the first question or how

5:35

you're going to approach each part of

5:38

the exam hopefully it will calm you down

5:40

a little bit and give you some kind of

5:42

preparation for what you're going to

5:44

experience on that day okay so now

5:47

you've arrived at the exam Center you're

5:49

there what can you do now well you'll

5:51

probably have some time to wait because

5:53

hopefully you've arrived early enough

5:55

before the exam you should you should

5:57

arrive at least 40 minutes before the

5:59

exam that's what Cambridge recommend but

6:01

if you arrive even earlier that's fine

6:03

but in those minutes before the exam and

6:06

between each part I recommend that you

6:09

chat to other candidates if you can I

6:12

mean if you're very shy and maybe an

6:13

introvert you may find this a little bit

6:16

uncomfortable and awkward but I think

6:18

there are a couple of benefits to that

6:20

first of all

6:21

speaking to other people in the same

6:23

situation who are probably also nervous

6:25

and and feeling stressed it will

6:28

probably calm you both down I mean

6:30

you're both when you realize other

6:32

people feel like you
