TimingCheck your timing

Arrow

There are many different English Language exams. Before you go for your spoken test you should know the answers to the following questions.

  • How long does the test last?
  • Are there different stages?
  • If so, how long does each one last?
  • What do I do in each stage?

Tips
Check the time on your watch.
Now look away and when you think one minute has passed, check with the second hand on your watch. This will train you to be aware of time.

Now set your watches and practise one section of the test with a friend.

Pacing yourself is very important - don't run out of steam.
