Where to start practising
- For a gap, decide whether the problem is structure, meaning or the connection with another sentence.
- When two documents are involved, check names, dates and changes before deciding that they describe the same thing.
- Review wrong answers by explaining the evidence for the correct choice, rather than simply memorising a letter.
Common questions
Can I prepare by studying grammar alone?
Grammar supports the sentence tasks, but understanding whole messages and relationships between texts also matters.
Is the score just the percentage I answered correctly?
No. Correct answers are converted to a scaled score. Avoid treating an unofficial fixed conversion chart as an exact result for every test.
