EXAM STRATEGIES The Szccess Workbook, provides practice u'rth esercise types found in exams including PET, KET, FCE and Trinity. These exercises are graded to elementary level to help students famrliarrse themselves with the exercise t5,pes. Page numbers u-here these exercises appear are next to each task trpe. Mosl exams consist of a listening

comprehension, a reading comprehension, grammar exercises/Use of English and (a) r.lriting task(s). The Success Workbook inciudes exercises that wi11help you to prepare for all these. Follow these to help you do particular task t1pes.

Listening comprehension General guidelinss Always

. . .

mioht harr look aL Lhe questions and mark your answers when listening for the l'irst time. read Lhrough all the queslions again before the second listening, in parlicular, the questions you didn't answer during the first irslerunp.

Don't

panic if you don't understand every'1hing. You don't have to understand the whole text to be able to lind the correct answers lo a question. Tfy to gel the main idea of a text and work out the meaning of words you don't know lrom the contexl. spend Loo much time Lhinking aboul queslions you are nol able to answer - you can come back to those during your second Isterung. leave any questions unanswered. If you are not surc - guess. You have a fifty percent

it right! In class, ask your teacher for the correct answers. Il they differ chance of getting

a lot from yours, listen to the recording once more to analyse the reason for your mistake.

Thue/False exercises (page22, exercise 2) . Remember that you will hear the questions/ sentences in the order you hear them. o When deciding whether a sentence is true or false, take into account what you actualiy hear and not what you know or think. o A sentence/question at the very end may refer to a speaker's intention or the generai context. In oeneral it is imnnrtant to refer to the whole LL r ur, DLr recordmg.

Multiple-choice exercises (page 37, exercise 1) Remember that you will hear the questions/ sentences in the order you hear them. . While listening for the first time, make notes of suggested answers. Then compare them to the choices you have been given and choose the most similar. . Be careful with answers that sound exactly the same as the information in the recording. They are often incorrect. Pay special attention to s)monyrns and anton5.ans. . Sometimes the information needed to answer a question is not drrectly given, you may have to work il out on the basis of what you have heard. If you are not sure which answer is correct, try to choose it by eliminating the incorrect answers.

.

Matching exercises (page 51, exercise 1) o If you have to find out who a person is or where a recording lakes place, concentrate on typical

. .

phrases which relate to the person or place. Sometimes one characteristrc phrase will help you choose the right answer. If an exercise is about matching a passage/text/

headline to a summarising sentence or a title, try to summarise the main idea yourself and choose one of the given answers on that basis. If an exercise is about deciding on the t),pe of text, pay special attention to expressions that are characteristic to a particular tlpe of a text.

Sentence or information ordering (page 93, exercise 3) o If you have to put events in chronological order, listen out for time expressions (and then, nert, JCnaIIy, in the end ...). . If you have to put events in the order they dlJpfdl

You may be able to guess the meanirg of new words uslng different techniques {guessing from the context, guessing a word based on its grarnmatical form, simiiarifi,' of the word in your own language). leave any questions unanswered, if you are nol sure - guess! Always check if you have answered all of the questions. spend loo much time on one specific exercise - your time in the exam is limited.

Thue/False exereises (page 15, exercise 2) . Skim the text first to get a general idea of where the information is. . Different sentences nell require different reading strategies. For example, you may need to focus on just one phrase or you may need to interpret the meaning of a whole text. . If you don't find informati.on confirming that a particular sentence is true, mark it as false.

4

Identify the parts of the text that your questions refer to. o Focus on the detail of a paragraph or sentence. An incorrect answer may only differ from the correct one in lhe tense that is used, slightly different information or information that only partly corresponds with the text. r Eliminate incorrect answers and then mark your final answer.

While matching headlines to a text, pay attention to the main idea of a text. Always read all the titles first and then match them to the relevant parts of the text. While matching questions to a text, try to find lhe risht nl:ce in the text where there is an answer lo a parlicular queslion. Remember that this kind of exercise may include (an) extra sentence(s), so you will have to ehminate unnecessary items.

Gap-fill exercises (page 70, exercise 2) . Skim the text first to get its general meaning,

r

ionorinB the sans Then read the sentences or words which are needed to frll the gaps. When you select your answers, pa)- attention to what is in the text both before and after the gap.

Sentence or information ordering (page 92, exercise 3) . While doing this kind of exercise, try to flnd sentences or paragraphs which have to be placed aL lhe beginnhg. Look ou1 lor expressions typically used when rntroducing a topic or a character. . Focus on linking words (then,fCnally,nert ...). These words will give you a clue to the order. o You may not need to study a whole paragraph. Focus on sentences/words that will help you link

sentences/paragraphs. Make sure the last paragraph,/sentence summarises the whole text or provides a logical conclusion.

Writing

You may be required to write a short, practical piece of writing such as a note, an email, an invitation, an advertisement and/or a longer, practical piece of rnriting, for example a formal or inJormal letter, a story or a discursive text. The

the question in mind when answering. Do not panic if you cannot remember a word. Use a word that has a similar meaning or give a definition or description of the word. . If you do not understand what an examiner has said, ask him/her to repeat him/herself. You can also repeat the information you have been given and, in this way, you can make sure that you have understood it correctly. . If you are not ready with your answers and need time to think, use conversational fillers or hesitation devices (uell, let me th,ink, erm, ... ) r Avoid using the same words and structures show that you have a varied vocabulary and can use a range of grammar structures. o If you are taking the exam with another person, make sure you listen as well as speak - don't dominate the conversation.

The thing I remember was my first day at school I wasn't sad at all. I wanted to go to school. I was very happy. I went with my mum. I wanted to run but she stopped me. At the gates, when I said goodbye, I could see her trying to hide her eyes. She didn't want me to see her cry Speaker 2 I alwavs remember one Christmas. I was ill and couldn't eat any dinner. I was very sad. I was 111 for about two weeks and my grandfather bought me a very expensive model aeroplane. I loved aeroplanes. It was great. It could fly. I had it for years. He was great, my grandfather. Speaker 3 I remember holidays in France. We went every year. We always did the same things. We stayed in the same town, we visited the same places, u'e bought our food from the same shop every year. But every year it was wonderful. I loved it and now I always take my children to the same Speaker

show The World Toclay. This evening we are asking: Do our young people look worse than in the past? Here in the studio we have Mr Clive Jessup, a clothes shop owner and Joel Fisher, a young actor and musician. You can ring us from 9 o'clock on 0146 21331. My first question is to Mr Jessup. What do you think of young people's fashions? Well, what I can see in my shop is that young people don't want to buy suits these days. In my shop, in the past, we had customers of all ages, with lots of young people among them, who wanted something nice to wear on a Saturday evening and they bought suits, shirts and ties. Now nobody wants them. Look at young Joel here, he's wearing the uniform of the young - blue jeans, an old T-shirt and a pair of trainers.

Joel, what do you say to Mr Jessup? Do you sometimes wear a suil? No, not really. I wore one for my sister's wedding. It was my father's. He's got iots ol suits. I haven't got any. Mr Jessup doesn't understand that my clothes are

lmportant to me. They tell you something. A suit says: 'I want to look like my parents.' My clothes say: 'I don't want to look like my parents.' You can say a lot with clothes. The T-shirt and trainers, for example, tell you what music I like.

vorrr tra.iners also look a bit expensive. Do you spend a lot on clothes? Oh, no, not at all. You don't have to buy expensive clothes to say something. On the contrary, I buy most of my clothes in street markets and they are really cheap. But they have a lot of character and they really say something. Not like the clothes in big stores. I agree with Mr Jessup there - when you buy clothes in big stores they are all the same. If you want to say something with your clothes, you have to look somewhere else. Mr Jessup. What do you say about that? I still think that young people today have no style. And that you cannot say that a T-shlrt or trainers can be cfvlich A onnri cilifi is something that ... Yes.

Oh come on ... Let's hear what our listeners have to say about that. Telephone now to tell us what you think or ask Joel or Mr Jessup a queslion. The number, once again, is ...

P All right.

Welcome back to the programme. So, at half time between Liverpool United and Manchester Tov'n, the score is 3 1 to Manchester. In a few minutes rve are golng to see the goals again but first, I $-ant to talk to Jack Sinclair, the England manager. An exciting game, Jack. J Yes, Manchester have played very rvell. They-'ve already scored three goals and T think the5 re going to score more in the second half. Liverpool have looked very tired. They have played three games this r'veek and you can see that this match is difficult for them P What can Liverpool do? J They must score in the first five minutes of the second half to have any chance in this match. The problem is thev haven't done much yet. P They've scored one goal. They could score more. J Mmm. I think they were lucky. The Manchester players are faster and better. I think the manager should change two players. The number 4, Smith, is too smail. They need a taller, stronger man at the back. Maybe Donald. The number 10, Fietcher, is having a very bad match. He can't run, he can't klck, he can't do anything. Why is he plaflng? Why hasn't the manager taken him off yet? P You don't like Fletcher! J No. But not just today. I've never liked him. I've never seen him play well. I think Liverpool should sell him. He might be OK at a smaller club. P He's played 50 games for Liverpool and he's scored 7 goals. He's only 21 and he's already played for Northern Ireland 17 times. J That's Northern Ireland. They haven't got many players to choose from. They're not a big country like England. P They beat England last year and fletcher scored, I think! Well, the teams are going to come out for the second half soon so let's look at the goals from the first half ...
