Commit to working hard

1:14

cocky they

1:14

understand

1:15

that they need to work hard to pass the

1:18

exam

1:19

i've noticed that some students think

1:21

well i've been

1:22

studying english for all my life i have

1:24

a good level or maybe

1:26

i speak to english people in english all

1:29

the time i don't have big problems

1:31

maybe even i've lived in an

1:32

english-speaking country for for some

1:34

time

1:35

so you know i have a good level and

1:36

imagine if they're preparing for the

1:38

advanced you know i

1:39

have a strong advanced level i don't

1:41

really need to prepare too much i

1:43

i'm i can just go straight in and pass

1:45

and that's the biggest mistake you can

1:47

make because

1:48

passing a cambridge english exam is not

1:51

just about having the level

1:53

it's about being prepared and knowing

1:55

the exam very well

1:57

so if you're cocky if you're overly

1:59

confident you're not going to take it

2:01

seriously enough

2:02

to pass and i've seen that so many times

2:04

that

2:05

students with with a good level a good

2:07

strong advanced or even proficiency

2:09

level

2:10

fail the exams just because they don't

2:12

prepare enough and they're too confident

2:14

they think their level is enough

2:16

it's not enough you need to prepare so

2:18

that's the first and probably the most

2:20

important

2:21

point i want to make today the second

2:24

point is that

2:26

successful cambridge english exam

2:28

students
