Crossedover Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I did loads of online practice thru the British council and by doing their dummy runs I learnt how you need to answer. I also found that it did not help me to use my own logic, answer the question the way they want, using exact info in the passage not what you intelligently think they are saying... Almost don't think, look and answer.Good luck... Here is wishing you an 8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need minimum 7 for all bands to get skill assessment---frustrated but dedicated!Had the same problem, my first time around got a 7.5 and everything else was 8+. Second time around didn't do any practicing and got a 9 for it - knowing I battled with the reading first time around I knew I had to pay special attention to this section so that must have helped. Good luck and wishing you an 8+ Edited April 21, 2014 by acmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
