Nobody likes taking exams; exams in your own language can
be stressful enough but somehow exams in a foreign language always seem to cause
more worry and anxiety. Well, the good news is that, if you 41 some
simple steps, taking English language exams can be really quite 42 . It
won’t exactly be fun, but it certainly shouldn’t give you too many headaches or
sleepless nights. If you are planning to 43 one of the
well-known exams such as Cambridge First Certificate, you will probably find
that there’s a preparation course 44 at a school near you. Check that the
school has a good 45 of exam success and that the teacher is 46 .
It is a good idea to ask if you will be given homework and 47 your
written work will be marked by a teacher who knows the level of English
48 by the exam. If you take an exam preparation course
your teacher will give you all the information you need and you will find that
49 in a class helps you to study more effectively. But you will still
need to 50 in a lot of work yourself (after all, the teacher can’t take
the exam for you.)
