Study Strategy
I watched videos of personal responses to the oral sections of the test to practice how to organize my own responses. I found that talking to others that have been through the test and passed helped tremendously in learning what to expect. Teachers helped me better organize my study plan and learn what to focus on and how to better execute the exam.
Testing Strategy
What made it extremely difficult to get through the test was the distance I had to travel due to the limited seats and times the test is offered. In addition, the testing site was not the greatest; it was crammed and loud as test takers start as they come in. So you may start your reading test while listening to other candidates on their oral presentations.
