3. Pay attention to word limits:

- For the writing test, you will lose marks if you do not write at least the number of words listed as the requirement for each question.
4. Be careful in your use of grammar, spelling and punctuation as you will be penalised for mistakes.
5. You aware that may make notes on your question paper during the listening, writing and reading examinations. Ensure you allow time to transfer your responses onto the answer sheet as nothing you write on the question paper will be marked.
