Learn the exam format

1:17

listening

1:17

which has four parts it's 40 minutes and

1:19

then the speaking which is more or less

1:20

15 minutes and also contains four parts

1:24

and then you need to go deeper in more

1:26

detail you know need to know

1:28

uh

1:29

what each part is looking for what

1:31

grammar you need what what the exam is

1:33

asking of you

1:35

it's extremely important because

1:38

for example i've

1:39

had students who perhaps haven't really

1:41

had the level

1:42

advanced level but they have passed the

1:44

exam because they have prepared so well

1:46

they have really got to know the exam

1:49

and on the other hand i've known people

1:51

who have

1:52

a very high level maybe even proficiency

1:55

but they've taken the advanced exam and

1:57

failed because they were a little bit

1:59

too cocky a little bit too confident and

2:02

they didn't

2:03

really know what the exam was asking of

2:05

them

2:06

so that really for me it's the number

2:08

one tip it's the most important thing

2:10

get to know the exam like the back of

2:12

your hand

2:13

okay tip number two

2:16

so start the preparation early

2:19

yeah i would say at least two months

2:21

minimum two months preparation

2:23

six months would be great

2:25

why not a year start if you're if you're

2:27

thinking next year of technique taking

2:29

the exam start preparing now

2:32

you can't really

2:33

have
