DOs

• Read the sources, titles and subtitles of the texts if they are given; they are there to help you.
• Read through each text before you answer the questions to get an overall impression and understanding of it. This includes Part 2, the gapped-text task.
• Remember, the missing word(s) may be part of an idiom, fixed phrase or collocation, so always check the words around the gap carefully. (Part 2)
• Remember, the missing sentence has to fit the context and the development of the text, so always check that the completed paragraph makes sense in the text as a whole. (Part 2)
• Read the questions carefully and check each option against the text before rejecting it. (Part 2)2)

DON’Ts

• Don’t try to answer any questions without referring carefully to the text.
• Don’t spend too much time on any one part of the paper.
• Don’t forget to record your answers on the separate answer sheet.
• Don’t assume that you have found the correct answer if the same word appears in the text as well as in an option. (Parts 1 and 3)
