OK.
So let's go over some basics for the Isles exam in terms of the format.
I know most of you probably have a general idea of how the exam is structured but I'm going to briefly
go over a few things about the exam in terms of format so that everybody is on the same page as they're
going through this course.
Number one let's look at the format itself.
Well as you know we go through four equal parts.
We do the reading first and listening in the writing.
And your speaking is done separately.
You're going to be able to get a score of zero to nine for each section of the exam.
Exam takes about three to three and a half hours.
And keep in mind this is very important.
They are testing your English ability not your intelligence.
OK.
They're testing your English ability is an English test.
So a lot of times students are confused about well I don't know a lot about the reading passages that
they're talking about.
I don't have a lot of background knowledge background knowledge is not required.
But you do have to have good English to be able to get a really good score.
So that's what you need to be able to know in terms of the academic reading the reading is going to
be covered over with 40 questions.
You're going to be able to it's going to be on any topic really can be about any academic topic.
But again that doesn't matter because they're not testing your intelligence.
They're testing your understanding of English.
You have a wide variety of questions when it comes to reading.
And also was very important.
You're going to learn from our reading section is that some of the questions go in order some of the
questions don't go in order and that's very important to know because the net gives you a good idea
about which questions search should be done first and which should be done last.
So we're going to give you a lot of secrets for how to handle the reading section reading.
And like I said earlier some questions go in order some do not.
Now with the listening section for parts four parts with the listening section and basically you have
two conversations and two monologues.
Also when it comes to the listening section of the exam the test gets progressively more difficult.
Meaning Section 1 is very easy for babies.
The baby section I call it the baby section very very easy very very easy.
And then as you go through each section it gets progressively more difficult for the listening section.
There are basically only two types of questions multiple choice.
Fill in the blank.
Now there are variations on multiple choice and there are variations on Fill the blank but those are
the two only basic kind of questions that you have to do with the writing section.
You have two essays that you're going to have to learn how to do very well.
Now it just so happens that I am an expert when it comes to writing.
So I'm going to be able to tell you exactly the format and structure and plan a template for how to
be able to do the essay The graphical essay test and Rawan and then also teaching you exactly how to
write.
And I wrote task to essay I'm going to tell you the specific format and structure that the grader is
looking for.
This way you're going to be able to get a high score in terms of your writing task number one.
Like I said earlier it's a graphical essay.
All right.
You have to be able to explain the information in the graph test and vertue is a basic independent essay.
Going to teach you how to do it in four paragraphs four strong paragraphs and I going to be able to
tell you exactly what the grader is looking for when it comes to test them or to.
Finally the speaking section.
A lot of people believe that the speaking section is easy and it is easy in a basic standpoint in terms
of what you have to do.
But what's important for the speaking section is you have to learn how do you answer the questions you're
not you can't just answer the question.
It's all about how you answer the question because you have to answer the questions in a way that the
grader is going to be able to give you a high score if you don't enter in the right format in the right
structure.
You're going to get you a high score of seven eight or nine in speaking you are not going to get that
score.
And we're going to teach you how to do that.
So that is just a little bit about the Isles exam test format.
And I look forward to teaching you and the rest of the course.
Thanks a lot.
