Read the instructions for each part carefully and use the examples to help you.

Think beforehand what order you would like to do the parts in – for example, you may prefer to start with the longer Reading tasks (Parts 4, 5 and 6).

Look at the words before and after the gaps in Parts 1, 2, 3 and 5.

Check the spelling of your answers in Parts 2 and 3.

Write your answers to Parts 2 and 3 clearly in capital letters.

Leave yourself enough time to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

Allow enough time for reading Parts 5 and 6.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand every word in a text – try to guess meaning from context.

Don’t leave any answers blank – you won’t lose marks for wrong answers.

Don’t spend too long on the Use of English tasks – remember that the Reading questions carry two marks each, and the Use of English questions are only worth one mark.

Don’t write more than one word for each Part 2 answer.

Don’t re-use the example letter H in Reading Part 5.

Don’t write in pen on the answer sheet.
