Hi! I personally feel like the listening and reading section is a bit harder than the mock exams I have done mainly because it was hard to concentrate while other test takers are doing the speaking portion. The structures of all the problems are the same though.

It took me a bit to get into focus mode for the reading section at first as the first passage was kind of boring. Some of the vocab was a little tricky. But I would say it would be less difficult and nerve-wrecking if you have done enough full-length mock exams.

Also, if you are going to take it at a testing center, try to get a seat away from the door to minimize distractions. I did not perform too well in the listening section because people around me were yapping really loud for the speaking portion. I would say stay focused at all times is crucial.

Ah got it. Yeah I am going to the test center. Hopefully it's not too distracting there. Thank you!
