Tips

• Look up vocabulary that you do not understand (only if it stops you from understanding the bigger picture). Context can usually help you.
  You can use a dictionary for the real test.
• Make sure you can point at the answer in the text, this should make you more confident that it's correct. 
• Do exactly what they ask. For example, when they ask you to quote (citeer), do not do it the Dutch way. Do what they want.
