The four parts of the FCE test: Reading, writing, listening and speaking should be approached differently. Here are a few ways to do that during the exam:
Reading
Examine the texts’ sources, titles, and subtitles. They will enable you to select the optimal responses. Read the words in Parts 1 and 2 that follow the gaps. Do not forget to alter the words you write in Part 3. They may need to shift into a plural or a negative. Write no more than two to five words in Part 4. Before rejecting a choice in Part 5 of the first certificate in English test, carefully read the questions and make sure it matches the content. In Part 6, closely examine the words surrounding the omission, as the absent word or words could be a component of a collocation, idiom, or fixed phrase. Because the missing sentence in Part 7 needs to make sense within the entire text, make sure the finished paragraph does.
Writing
Spend some time thoroughly reading the entire question and underlining any pertinent information. If you need to make any edits, that is acceptable as long as you make sure they are understandable to the reviewer. If at all possible, use pertinent concepts and data to expand on the points made in Part 1’s description. Even if you are not positive about the spelling, use a variety of words. Employ formal or casual language appropriately; you should be aware of which is best given the circumstances.
Listening
It is critical that you comprehend what you are hearing and what has to be done. Analyze the context and ask yourself some questions. Make use of the page’s contents to follow along with the audio while you listen. Consider the type of information you are listening for in Part 2 and pay close attention to what is written both before and after the pause. Next, fill out the answer sheet with just the information that is missing. When the recording is played for the first time, try to respond to the questions. When you listen to the recording again, you can verify your responses.
Speaking
Throughout the test, pay close attention to the directions and questions so that you can answer correctly. Make sure you can be heard by the assessor and the interlocutor by speaking clearly.
