Before the exam
· Practise writing answers to the tasks in the time allowed, especially if
you haven’t written at speed by hand for a while.
· Keep up-to-date with current affairs.
During the exam
· Use a pen. It should be easier to write faster with a pen.
· Make sure you have a checklist in mind for editing your writing at the
