We look at:
- Why the test is recorded
- What’s allowed in the room and what is not allowed
- What types of questions you will get
- How to handle part 2
- What your examiner will write down
- What the examiners can say and what they cannot
- Why your examiner may seem like he/she is not listening (!!!)
- Why examiners say, “thank you,” and “why?” so much
- And other examiner behavior that may seem strange!
