SCANNEN: Scan the text looking for a specific word, number or name. Look for capital letters if applicable.

Practise exam

We will be working on the exam from 2024, do this seriously because we will be grading and scoring this exam. (This exam is also rather difficult.)

Ben je binnen 10 minuten klaar dan gaat er iets goed mis.

LET OP: Een Engels examen bestaat uit zowel korte als lange teksten. 

Scanning

Look at the text but do not read! What do you know? What is it about?

Then read the questions! You might already be able to cross off any wrong answers.

Get to work

Work the first few minutes in relative silence. Try to do it on your own, You also have to do this during an exam.

After 10 minutes you can work together.
