have to be boring. In fact, it should be
interesting. When you’re studying for an English test, it
isn’t the same as studying for a math test. You need to
activate your emotions so you can remember more. Reading or
watching movies in English can help, but you can also practice
writing essays on subjects that are interesting to you, or go out
and speak English with native speakers. Think of it
as test preparation.   As for taking the actual test,
Jessica has four essential tips to give you an advantage: Be
proactive. Take an active approach that involves your
brain. Try to think about and predict answers. Trust
yourself. Don’t start doubting yourself when answering
questions. Often, your first answer is the correct one. Follow
directions. Tests are written by smart people. Don’t
start looking ahead and trying to race the clock. If you
do, you might miss an important instruction. Don’t
rush. Don’t worry about timing. Instead, focus on your
English and do what the test asks you to do.   Have you done
