or individual answer of experiences.

READING:

Do’s and Don’ts

• Concentration must be totally on the sentences.

• Get the meaning from title of passage.

• If there is no title than topic sentence are to get the

meaning from passage.

• Don’t waste time waiting for another answer.

• Use tips such as “skimming” and “scanning” to

overcome the passage.

• Vocabulary engulfing in also a problem try to face it

with.

• Roots finding , b) sentence guess, c) skip

• Save your time at the end to re-read.

• Read instructions clearly.

• Don’t write more than required words.

• Practice a lot before tes than you will find technique of

finding answers.

• Don’t over write the words, they are considered

incorrect.

• Pencils are best option during the test.

• A technique of finding answer is also to read the first
sentences of each paragraph mentioned.

• Spelling and grammar words accuracy is required.

• You will read and write at the same time to practice a

lot.

• Don’t be panic about place of your answers all the

answers are in sequence.

• Don’t go the first paragraph if you find first answer in

that start form one.

• Don’t leave any blank unfilled; complete it if you are not

so sure.

• Don’t take any paper board or ruler everything is

available.

• Don’t ask questions from examiners because hall is not

to answer you.

• Don’t cheat or wait for the other because time is really

short.
• Look at the example answer if it is 55% then do so don’t
write 55 percent, if it is first then don’t write 1st.

• Try to avoid preposition and conjunction and article if

there is word limit.

• Paragraph kinds such as descriptive, narrative,

expository and persuasive can also identify our answers
because all these paragraphs have their own places in an
essay and question may relate them.

• Who, how, when, where, which, why, what will also be

the wordings of question which can tell you that where
the answer place is.

• Question logic tells us about A V N (Adjective, verb,

noun) which find it easy to search for answer.

• Be careful about the word such as quantity words and

adverb of frequency these create confusion in the
sentence structure because all the sentence is same but
these words trick us.

• Don’t think over your personal knowledge because it is

also a trap which can make you confuse in
 reality.sometimes they give information about place but
in real they are wrong, if you have been there and you
write from your own knowledge then it doesn’t work.

• Heading finding sometimes trick you in sentences such

as the start of paragraph is totally with irrelevant
information but mid or at the end the put relevant words
which then create confusing for candidates.

• There must be letter NB which can also help you which

means Nota Bene it means to write clearly and also
means to say that you can choose on option more then
once.

LISTENING:

Do’s and Don’ts

• Concentrate to words listening.

• Through scanning and skimming, you can also find

answers.

• Listen for the second time repetition.

• Don’t just listen the items, always search for correct one.
• Don’t be confused in different accounts of English.

• Always keep your eyes one two question at some time,

than you can’t miss the place.

• Academic and non-academic part are divided which can

also help you.

• Words must be according to the task .

• Listen the instruction carefully.

• Read question before they began the task.

• Write on the question sheet you have extra 10 mint to

transfer answer.

• Don’t wait for the question which you don’t listen just
skip and go farther.

• Don’t wait for the other answer.

• Don’t over write the words.

• Don’t over use the words.

• Don’t miss-use the grammar and spelling.

• Don’t be panic if you can’t listen.

 • Practice before listen test by watching English movies,
news, channels and songs English etc………….

• Practice listens before test because you have to write,

listen and read at the same time.

• Don’t read all questions at one just wait for instruction

they tell you to read question 1 to 5 or etc……….

• Approximately all the questions are in sequence so don’t

go back the questions.

• Don’t wait for second time take recorder will be played

once.

• Listen tape recorder till the end.

• Don’t leave any blank unfilled.

25)question logic is really important don’t directly think( A

V N) is formula it means adjective,verb or noun is required
in missing places.

26) Be careful for traps.

Trap1. You may have listened that speakers say something

else but converts to real topic if some words. Just like to
trick you in question for days Monday- Thursday. In time 3
or 5 o’clock etc

Trap2.speakers sometime trick you in all items but real

answer is something else.eg.well I like to swim,hike and jog
in order to be involved in outdoor activities.if the question is
which kind of activities. So correct answer is outdoor
activities not swim etc.

Trap3. Sometimes confuse you in sentences like, summer

course is for all the first years students excluding foreign
students.

If the question is, all the first year students have to take
summer course is false then because there is an exception of
foreign students.

Trap 3.most of the lectures in section 3 and 4 are not

directly starting the words related to questions so in this
case many of our candidates think that they missed the
questions. Don’t be worried just take a starting wait and
circle the key words.
27) think closely for some sort of words which can change
your mind as well as you can easily make mistakes. 1st one
is quantity words just like many, more , half of , full of ,
none of, a little, a few, majority etc.2nd is adverb of
frequency such as always, usually,sometimes, rarely etc.
