Facts:
- Level of the texts is high, level of the questions even higher

- Native speakers / Bilingual students often still make 4 or 5 
  mistakes. You have to read reaalllllyyyy carefully!

- You will need a dictionary! Some questions are made extra 
  difficult to force you to look up words.

Top 3 tips:
1. Read everything, but use as little of your own knowledge as
    possible (base your answer on what's in the text!)
2. Underline, Highlight,  cross out,  etc. to indicate what to 
    look for or to find specific information
3. Approach multiple choice questions as if they are open 
   questions. Come up with your own answer first and then 
   choose the one that best fits it.
