It will contain three sections as follows: Section 1 will contain 2-3 short texts, with the topic being related to everyday life in an English speaking country, Section 2 will contain short texts, mainly focusing on work-related issues, Section 3 will include a long, more complex text on a general topic.

What is the duration of the test?

What if I have some knowledge on the topic given? Can I start answering questions without reading?

Please, read through the passage and answer the questions. Forget, what you know already about the topic.

What if, I did not understand a particular word in the passage?

Don’t panic! Try to read the line again and understand what the situation is, to have an idea of what that particular word might translate to.

Can I skip a question, if I don’t know the answer?

There is no negative marking. So, don’t skip any question.
