Good luck boys and girls !

I am starting the big travel today and arrive in the city where the big event will take place tonight. I will get a good night sleep inside a motel and in the morning rise and shine Worlds cause here I come. I am a little nervous because I do not know how much I do know or better said how will they rate me. Still I hope I can get 88 points with a 20+ from every section.

Let us do this!

hey jokerjokere I hope you get what you want.

can you give some hints?
do you remember speaking and writing questions?

hi guys, how did you do in the test, personally i found it very difficult to focus on the reading part, because people were walking all the time and the noise didn't help and also maybe cause am not so used to read stories from the screen, but as the time went by i think i became more focus, in the listening i got as 6 lectures n 3 conversations i think it was very long some ones easier than other long i got speaking and writing i got very very easy questions, fortunately, because i just prepared for writing part for one day, anyhow ill have to wait to see my score, hope you did well, regards

well, allercikfoud, all the info regarding the test is copyright, so is not possible to disclose, sorry, anyhow you are not likely to get the same questions in your test, alternatively you can practice with renshaw web page, it helps a lot, i used his guidelines for q1 and q2, there is also a list of questions there, very similar to the real test.

hi everybody !!! it's nice to be with you again. What can I say a-t the ma test? It was terrific. I could not adjust ma mic for 7 times and then when I began reading (being absolutely unfocused and nervous about the kucf ups of the testing service) others were doing listening. And when I began my listening everybody came from the break and started their speaking. It was awful, I had to hear both the lectures and other people. Speaking was not so difficult but I didnt watch the seconds and so some of my answers were incomplete. Writing was not so frightening too. Anyway - I expected more from my exam.

oh yeah, sorry for my promise of sharing the questions with you. I can't do that, I have signed some paper about that.

Finally I can say that been there, done that.

The test was so,so.

I got 3 reading sections and also 3 full sections of listening. I like better the listening that the reading part so I was satisfied with it. The African cave picture reading part seemed to me a little too technical and little true message. That was probably the hardest part from the reading and listening.

At the speaking part I was a little disappointed that the first question did not fall into the question types present at the renshaw web site. Who were at the test know what I am talking about. I mean you couldn't apply the template of What, Presentation, Two reasons. I could also remark that I had practiced speaking just a few times in the last couple of years, while I am reading, writing, listening daily some English. I suffered the most at this section.

The writing part was pure pleasure for me. I mean I occasionally write technical articles for an online site and all that paid its dues here. Also I managed to utilize fully every second of the time allocated. I mean at the second writing text I put the last question mark into the text when I had 1 second left. (That was the revise part... Finished exactly at time)

In the end I do not know what to say. I cannot even guess what point I will get. I think we will see it in the next weeks. A friend of mine who took the text on 8th of August got its result on 22th. Therefore with a little luck on 5th we could also have the results. Crossed fingers boys and girls

Difficulty according to section: Speaking >> Reading >> Listening > writing.

yeah, reading section was that difficult to focus on, for those who are to take the test I strongly recommend to practice reading in a public place to cope with this section, the ones who took it on 22 august lets wait n see how happened
