Topic 1 · Introduction
If you are nervous on test day, you should:
- Rush through the exam
- Stay calm and trust your preparation — correct answer
- Skip the test
Why
Nerves are normal and preparation is what settles them. Read each question calmly rather than rushing to finish.
Practise this in the real format
Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
