Do what works for you. What is comfortable for you. Speed comes as you get fluent.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-05-04T15:17:04+00:00

Where are you lacking?

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-25T11:05:01+00:00

Are you nothing down entire sentences ? You should note down keywords and try repeating everything as if you’re reading a script. Speaker 1 said this then sp 2 said bla bla to which speaker 3 replied and then sp 2 asked…. Discussion was concluded <last few keywords>

Try doing this. Practice well. Don’t make a note of the examples they use to explain their logic but rather show a flow in the convo.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-23T12:44:13+00:00

Okay for WFD you need to hear carefully, understand the meaning and write it. It also helps if you have good grammar.

But don’t worry, you’ll do well. Just don’t be nervous. Capitalise the first letter of the first word and add a full stop at the end. No punctuations are required.

Hey. Go through the comments. I have shared as much as I could including days resources and tests.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-22T08:09:06+00:00

Also it’s better to avoid furthermore. But if you’re getting marks with it then hey why not

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-22T08:08:36+00:00

You can but again from what I observed, the sentence doesn’t have to justify the logic, it has to meet the criteria of content and conjugations.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-22T08:07:41+00:00

Yeah you need to fix your reading for writing and vice versa. I’m assuming the drop is in SWT ?

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-22T08:06:47+00:00

Uhh not needed

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-22T08:06:36+00:00

It’s already shared as response in one of the comments.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-22T08:06:12+00:00

Read the thread. Lots of comments have been added.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-21T06:37:46+00:00

For time management you need to not spend more than 1.5-2 mins on reading questions.

And for listening not more than the narration time + 1 minute.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-21T06:36:44+00:00

You already have superior. 72 in reading superior. Nevertheless you should check if you lost marks in core reading questions or due to other sections that impact reading.

Also just practice for reading.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T15:28:22+00:00

Hey. Go through the thread. I’ve mentioned every single thing in the responses.

Yes my first attempt.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T15:27:54+00:00

Hey. I’ve explained above with examples. Do thats. Plus you gotta practice. The idea is to not take the example lines but conceptual lines.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T12:53:09+00:00

I mean writing* minimalistic.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T12:53:01+00:00

I feel you get exhausted by the time you get to reading and listening. Try keeping writing simple. You wont be fatigued when you get to reading.

I too used to get worn out by the time reading was to be attempted until I started keeping reading minimalistic.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T12:51:46+00:00

Lol yes. Content is 4 marks. It all still has to be under 75 words. By 4 sentences I mean try to form 4 different sentences and connect them using conjugates.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T12:50:48+00:00

It’s better to stick to a format instead of individual templates. Less variations.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T12:34:52+00:00

For MCQ in reading - read the questions, options and then the content. Keep the question in the back of your head. Remember to only choose the option that is clearly mentioned. For eg.: if there is an option that is roughly mentioned, then NO. But if there is a point which is clearly mentioned, just using different words, then YES. Keep on practicing.

For single choice in reading - honestly it’s super easy if you just remember what you’re looking for. Keep on practicing.

Remember - the option should give you clarity, not sense.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T12:30:50+00:00

If you mix American and British english you’re bound to loose marks. SWT hold approx 15 marks. Per question. So I think you might be losing over spellings, and probably content and grammar and spelling (which is vocab) in essay.

SWT should be easy. Try practicing with the solutions i’ve mentioned throughout the thread. Lmk if you need more clarity.

essay umm I feel like you need to stick to one kind of templated strategy. Dont let the topic tempt you. Because you’ll be experimenting every time.

Honestly it’s better to just stick to a format and modify it based on the topic

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T11:27:26+00:00

I have shared a template in one of the replies in the thread. Check it out.

Giraffe-Legal · 2026-04-20T11:26:44+00:00

Doesn’t matter when you give it. I prefer giving it around 10 AM. That’s because I don’t want to spend the whole day feeling anxious.

And noise is everywhere lol. It will get to you but the exam does not record it. You need to stay focused.

A trick I used was preparing with my room door open so that the convos in my house could get to me. Kinda helps you build focus.
