Let's check the answers of your practice exam 

Take notes during the checking process because I will share tips & tricks 

Writing tips: 

Read the assignment properly 

If you are short on words -> describe thoroughly

If you get to choose, choose the assignment you can write a lot about

You may lie here and there 

Reading tips

• The answer is always in the text 
• Read for pleasure if that is an option, it really helps 
• Use practice tests
• For the title assignment -> look for matches between the texts and titles 

Use of English tips: 

• Read for pleasure, it really helps. If possible mark words/phrases you are not that familiar with/really like 
• Use the collocations workbook Miss Koolwijk has 
• Look up proverbs 
• Ask Miss Koolwijk about barrons, you may use this for DWT
