2nd BAT: PAU tips

SOME GOOD ADVICE ON STUDYING FOR AN ENGLISH EXAM

a) Don't leave it for the last days. It is worthwhile to study a little every day. But, if you don't have

much time, don't try to learn everything: select the most important grammar rules and the

vocabulary

b) Concentrate on what is new for you or on what you find more difficult. But, revise what you have

already studied or find easy.

c) To revise for a reading and writing exam, it is important to go through the characteristics and

useful language of each type, especially, the LINKING WORDS.

SOME GOOD ADVICE ON TAKING ANY ENGLISH EXAM

a) Read carefully the questions. Make sure you understand what you are asked for.

b) Take note of the number of marks per questions and measure the time you are using in each.

c) If you don't know an answer or you find it too difficult, go on to the next. Do first what you find

easy. But, don't forget to go back to those you haven't done.

d) Don't worry if there are words that you don't know. You can use different strategies to guess their

meaning (context, synonyms, antonyms...). Sometimes the text offers you an alternative or

explains it in other sections. One question can help you answer another one.

d) Leave yourself a few minutes at the end of the exam to check for mistakes of grammar, spelling

and punctuation
