.This exam is purposed to evaluate four main skills in English language
Reading Listening Speaking Writing
each one of the skills is evaluated in the scale of 30 and the total mark is counted out of 120
The exam is given by a computer and all you have to do is to read of the screen click/type the answers & take notes if necessary. You are gonna have to listen to some parts & also speak in the microphone in the speaking part.
Reading #
The exam begins with this part. (usually) 3 passages in different topics such as biology,history, etc. will appear on the screen you're gonna have some time to read them and the important parts on which the questions are based on will be highlighted so you won't have a hard time finding a word or sentence which is being questioned.
The passages are almost as big as an A4 paper give or take a few lines... But personally I think reading is the hardest part of the exam. Cuz it requires a big deal of knowledge in vocabulary.
: About 11 -15 questions are asked for each passage and they might be asking
What a specific part of the passage is implying
Why the author has mentioned an expression
What a word/phrase in the passage refers to
...
Listening 
In this part ur gonna hear conversations & lectures & then some questions will be asked about them. The very very very important factor here is taking notes! & even more important is having the ability to keep up with the speakers in taking notes.
I'm emphasizing so much on taking notes because the listening material is gonna be fast and ur gonna hear it only
once! so it's important not to miss any details.
The conversations are usually in student - professor consultation mode and there usually isn't any hard vocabulary. All you have to do is listening well to get a fixed idea about the context and take notes of the details.
The lectures however, are gonna be a little harder. Since they might involve some unusual vocabulary & names of places you have never heard of. Things you have to do may vary according to the context of the lecture. But to give u a general guidance, you must be very careful with numbers, names & steps of the processes that may be mentioned. Try to write these things as fast as you can & be very careful in not missing any parts of the lecture.
Just to let you know, I must say that the hardest lecture topics ever are the ones related to
biology! If you can ace them then you are a
listening master

Speaking ![/m\](/forum/styles/yahmas/smiles/rock_on.gif "Rock On /m\")
The most important thing in speaking test is to be fast enough to get ready as well as speaking fast. It doesn't matter what you are saying as long as it's related to the question, what matters is how fluent your speaking /accent is, & the proper vocabulary that you use. This is also a pretty easy part as long as your head is filled with ideas so you won't waste time on thinking about what u write.
There are gonna be 6 questions
the first two questions are gonna be easy ones asking you simple questions for which you have 15seconds to prepare & 45seconds to respond. no important thing about these two... just the speed factor
In question 3 & 4 ur gonna read a small text, 5 to 6 lines, and then ur gonna listen to a small passage which is almost in the same topic. then a question will appear and you must answer that. a few things to notice are that the reading material will disappear after 45 seconds! so be careful to write a very small summary of it to keep the whole idea of it! Also take notes from the listening material so you wouldn't forget it
When the question appears u will have 30 seconds to prepare your answer and 60 to respond.
What is important in marking your answer, in addition to what is said for questions 1 &2 , is that you use the information stated in the text & listening passage for your answer. So make sure you mention them
Questions 5 & 6 are something like 4 & 3 except in these ones you just gonna
hear a part of a lecture or conversation and then a question will appear and you have to answer that according to the information provided in the listening material.
You will have 20 seconds to prepare ur answer & 60 to speak ur answer. So be fast and don't forget to get proper notes
Writing :-s
This section includes two horrifying questions
They're not hard, but they ARE exhausting #
d
speed, accuracy & dominance on vocabulary in various topics are the keys to get high scores in this section
The first question is " the integrated writing task" which is very similar to the the third & forth questions in listening. You will have 3minutes to read a passage and take notes and then it will disappear. Then you hear a passage and after it's finished you have 1 minute to prepare & after that you have 20 minutes to type ur answer. e
Remember that your personal opinion is not asked here at all! and you should answer according to the information provided by the passages
The second question is the "independent writing task" in which a question is asked and your gonna have to answer it with an essay of details required in the question. You will have 30 minutes to prepare and write your answer.
The best technique in answering writing tasks is having a writing plan. It's suitable for all four sections but it is NECESSARY in writing. In this technique you write key words and summaries (1line) of each paragraph of your essay and find an overlook to what your are going to write and then you start. This is the best way to keep track of time as well as writing a proper essay to get the complete grade
I hope my explanations have been quite clear
