Hi,guys! How are you getting on? Happy Ied!

I hope youve had a great holiday so far,but now its time to start thinking about the Final Test . Remember, the test will cover all the language skills (Reading,Writing,Listening, and Speaking) + the language components (Vocabulary and Grammar), and here are some learning strategies you can apply to prepare for the test. You can take all of them, you can choose some that you think are the most effective, or you can have your own way of learning. Go through the Unit Summaries on the back pages of the Students Book. If you find things you dont understand, refer to the main pages of your book or your dictionary, consult your note book, discuss them with friends, or ask your lecturer. Check your understanding by going over the exercises there in the Students Book and especially, the Workbook. Give more focus on things you havent understood well. Practice listening (at SAC, for example), and speaking. Manage your time well. Study hard, and pray a lot. One more thing, Ive compiled some exercises that are mostly related to Grammar. ~ Wish U best of Luck,n c u! ~
