DOs and DON'Ts

	Make sure you understand the instructions for each task, and follow them exactly.
	Try to answer all the questions – you won’t lose marks for wrong answers, and there’s a chance that you’ll guess correctly.
	Carefully copy your answers in pencil onto the Answer Sheet.
	If a question or part looks difficult, leave it, go on to something else, and come back to it later.
	Leave yourself enough time to check your answers, and to check that you’ve copied them correctly onto the Answer Sheet.
	Concentrate on understanding the main points of a text, rather than every single word.
	Remember that the texts range from a low to a high level of English, so you aren’t expected to understand everything.

	Don't leave any answers blank.
	Don't spend too long thinking about a question.
	Don't worry if you find a text difficult to understand.
	Don't try to understand every single word in a text.
