Final Tips

All right.

You finally made it here to this final video of our course.

I’m so happy that you made it here guys.

We’ve spent many hours to fully understand how to write a great task one essay.

So I’m very proud that you’ve made it here till the end of this course in this video.

I want to leave you with some final tips to ensure your success.

These are some of the things that you need to do before your exam.

So let’s get to it.

So what to do before the day of your test.

The first thing that you should be doing is you should lightly review any content that you’re still

struggling with.

Now notice of emphasize the words lightly review.

This means that I don’t want you to use this day or this night as an intense study session.

If it’s the day before your test you should already know how to answer your exam questions.

Only use this time to do a light review.

This means that you should not be spending any more than one to two hours for your review.

Now you should be doing this because you should use this day to relax and to refresh your mind and body

so that when you go into your exam the next day your mind and body feel fresh and at their best.

Now it’s very important that you know exactly where the test is and how to get there.

So the day before the test make sure that you check the map and that you know how long it’s going to

take for you to get to the test center now for you to perform well on your test.

It’s very important that you get yourself a good night’s sleep.

This is very important to refresh your mind and body.

The next day.

So make sure that you don’t stay up at night to prepare for your exam.

Research shows that students who sleep at least seven hours the night before an exam they typically

score higher than those students who only get six hours of sleep.

So even that one extra hour makes a huge difference.

So make sure that you get as much sleep as you need to feel well rested and prepared for your exam the

next day.

Now all of that preparation is going to be for nothing if you don’t wake up on time the next day.

So make sure that you set an alarm so that you can wake up on time if you’re like me then you may need

to set two or three alarms to make sure that you wake up on time as a side note you should avoid setting

more than three alarms because this way people often end up over sleeping.

OK.

You’re going to keep pressing that snooze button over and over and you’re going to end up over sleeping.

So don’t set more than three alarms and keep them at most 10 to 15 minutes apart from each other.

Next get together everything that you’re going to need for your exam you’ll need to prepare all the

materials that you’re going to need for your test the night before.

So what do you need to bring to your test here are the things that you need to bring for your child’s

exam.

First you have to bring your original and valid passport so you have to bring your original passport

and it should be valid meaning that your passport should not be expired.

Take note that driving licenses and student I.D.

are not accepted as identification.

You have to bring your passport.

Next you have to print out the confirmation email for the test.

So when you register for your exam you’re going to receive a confirmation email and you have to print

it out and bring it to your test this document is going to be stamped next.

You should bring two colored photocopies of your passport.

Now this is just a precautionary measure just in case you have not sent the photocopies or you haven’t

uploaded them with your application.

So in such cases you can bring the photocopies of your passport with you and submit them at the test

center next.

Bring along four colored passport sized photographs of yourself.

This is also another precautionary measure.

This is just in case the photo that you uploaded in the registration form is not clear.

So if the uploaded photo is not clear then you can submit these colored passport sized photographs of

yourself at the test center you’re going to need some stationery items so carry your own pencils sharpener

erasers and pens.

If you’re going to use pens to write I don’t suggest using pens to write your Task 1 and Task 2 essay.

Pencils are better because you can erase your mistakes and easily correct them but essentially you want

to carry your own stationery items just in case the test center does not provide them.

So most of the time the exam center will have all of these things so you don’t have to worry about it.

But just in case they don’t have it it’s always better to have your own stationery items.

Next a water bottle.

This is optional.

I want you to note that your water bottle has to be transparent without any writing or labels on it.

I also want you to note that water bottles are not allowed in some test centres in such a case.

If water bottles are not allowed there is going to be a water facility at your exam center.

Next up we have snacks.

Now this is also optional.

I want you to note that snacks are not allowed in the test room.

However you can eat them while you’re waiting to go into the examination hall.

Sometimes this can be a long wait so it can be helpful to have some snacks along so that you can keep

your energy levels up.

All right now we’re moving on to what to do on the day of the test.

First of all start your morning strong.

This means that you should eat a healthy and filling breakfast to fuel yourself for the upcoming examination.

You’re going to have to sit for a couple hours straight so make sure that you’ve properly energized

yourself.

Here are some good brain foods that you might want to consider eating before a test.

Whole grains such as oatmeal granola and Kingwell.

These are great meals because they are very rich in carbohydrates so they can give you energy for a

long period of time.

Another personal favorite is fresh fruits and vegetables so make sure that you confirm that you have

everything you need to take with you to the test on the day of the test itself as well.

So you should have already done this the night before but just confirm that you have everything you

need on the day of the test as well beyond time it’s very important.

Ideally you should aim to get to your exam center at least 30 minutes before your test if you arrive

after the test starts.

Then you’re not going to be allowed to take the test go to the bathroom before you leave your house.

Go to the restroom so that you don’t have to waste time going to the restroom at the test center.

All right.

Now the moment of taking the test is before us and here are some quick things that you should do right

before you take your test gotta pee while use the bathroom before the test because there are no bathroom

breaks in your exam.

If you are in the middle of the test and you do need to use the restroom then you must raise your hand

to the examiner and ask them for permission.

Now if you were in the middle of taking your test I suggest that you do not go to the bathroom during

the listening test.

This is because if you go to the bathroom the listening test will not stop for you and you’re going

to miss the answers.

And as a result you’re going to get a lower score overall.

So avoid going to the bathroom during the listening test.

If you must go then it’s best to go during the reading or the writing section of your test.

However really try to avoid going to the bathroom during an exam.

Try to take care of all of this right before your test or right before leaving your house.

Now it’s very important that you stay calm and positive during your test.

It’s normal to feel nervous before an exam.

Just relax and to your past.

One way that you can relax yourself is you can focus on deep breathing.

So breathe in

and breathe out.

Another way to relax yourself and to put yourself in a positive mood is to stretch your arms stretch

your legs crack your back if you need to and get the blood flowing so those are all of my final tips

before you go into the exam.
