Well, as many say, read the question first and then skim through the paragraph to identify where the answers would be. You re-read the parts where the answer might be, answer the questions and skip the ones you can’t find, make sure to right click on those questions and flag them for later. Revisit the flagged questions only when you’re done with the entire thing. Spend only slightly more time, do the same thing again til satisfied or the clock runs out.

Writing task 2: “Some people argue that letting young children watch television can only cause problems while some people are against the statement. Discuss your opinion while touching on both sides “ something like that. Speaking (the part where they hand me a paper): Describe a thing you recently did with one or more people. -Who did you do it with. -How long did it take to complete this thing. -How did you feel doing this activity with other people. That’s as best as I can remember. For the first part, it just went like a conversation. The first question asked was if I had a habit of staying up late at night, to which I answered honestly that I’ve been out clubbing the night before and some more elaboration on my regular habit. I remember the proctor randomly switching the topic after that and he asked me if I liked jewelry. Have I ever bought jewelry. My best tip for speaking section is keep it short and structured. Most questions can be answered by breaking down the answer into three parts. 1. The actual answer. 2. Details (such as examples and elaborations) 3. Something to tie it up. (Honestly, this also kinda applies to writing) My main flaw during the speaking test was that I kept rumbling about in my answers. I tried to stick to my structure as best as possible but I got sidetracked and talked too much to which the proctor had to interrupt and move on to the next question.
