4. Firstly
• Your exam script is scanned and then
chopped up! LOL
• The examiner NEVER sees a complete
script (unless in exceptional
circumstances)
• So you really need to serve it up. Also,
they’ve changed the way it’s marked!

5. My Top Tips
• Number 1
• Know the exam – you have the sheet.
Learn what you’re being asked to do in
each question. e.g. Know before you even
read Source 2 that this is the one you’ll be
asked about presentation etc.

6. • Number 2
• Timing, timing, timing, timing, timing,
timing, timing, timing, timing, timing.
ALWAYS TIMING.
• The most marks in the exam are in the
final question. DO NOT run out of time.
• Look at the clock in the exam and check
time per question. If you’re taking too long,
skip and go back to it...

10. Content/ Communication
• i.
• On the back of your candidate number,
wherever, write linguistic devices or
words, ones you remember and ones you
see.
(What can you steal??!!)
This is
actually
inaccurate
so don’t do it
