Which book is this from? Thanks

[@VietFCE]

@@amyholl Sorry, that's something I can't tell

[@amyholl]

@@VietFCE ok, not to worry, I've tracked it down. Thanks for the audios though 👍

I've got 29/30! Thank you so much for providing these practise tests, they help a lot!

[@VietFCE]

Wow, that's really a great score. Keep it up.

[@leonebacciu4016]

Thank you! I'm going to take the C1 exam in 2 weeks and these videos are really helpful

[@VietFCE]

You're welcome. Try your best and I wish you achieve your goal.

Hola

[@ricardosousa2840]

26/ 30 The conjoined words at part 2 really got me.

[@VietFCE]

Great score! Keep it up.

[@kevinisraelhernandezgarcia6132]

21/30 this is the first time that I have more than 20 correct answers :D

[@sofiayermak6551]

Technically, all my answers are correct. Sadly, writing birth place instead of birthplace and ice breaker instead of icebreaker led me to receiving 28/30.

[@VietFCE]

Really excellent score! Keep it up.

[@santiagocastro7498]

21/30 sir, but in the test 8 I only scored 15/30. It will be a toss up on the exam which is in less than two months between passing or failing it. I'm not regular at all.

[@VietFCE]

Is this because test 8 is more difficult than this test?

[@santiagocastro7498]

@@VietFCE I don't know. I think that it depends on the topic each part of the test is about. For example, in advance before starting to hear the speakers in part 4, I can tell you that this part of the test 9 seems more feasible to me than part 8 which was about a subject completely unknown to me.

[@VietFCE]

@@santiagocastro7498 I see, in that case, keep practicing. The more we practice, the better we do.

[@sorayagonzalezmendes5080]

Me too. 21/30, but in the last test 15/30. I think it depends on the topic. But I struggle with the part 4 of the test and I don't know why...

[@raulmoraljimenez6642]

21/30 improving!!!!

[@vitoriavalelussari7490]

24/30 ^^ I'm good at listening, it's the writing part that gets me... Btw, would mispelling count as a fail ? I spelled "ice-breaker" instead of "icebreaker". Thanks a lot for the audio practice!!

[@VietFCE]

In this case, it can be considered as a minor spelling mistake and be accepted.

[@periophthalmus3740]

27/30 Note to self, Mistakes: 6-C, 11-blank (didn't pay attention to the seabird incident), 19-B (couldn't identify the word 'globetrotter' now I learned the meaning)

Great score! Keep going.

@@VietFCE Thanks for all of this, I hope to pass in May, although the exam that I have to take is easier than these exercises is a very good training to be more prepared

part 1 6/6 :DDD i'm very happy!!!!!!!

[@VietFCE]

Great! Keep it up.

[@hoaiphuongle9393]

my score is up, then down, down, then up so I have no idea whether my skill has improved or not

[@VietFCE]

Do you think that because each test has different level of difficulty? May be some tests are easier or more difficult than others?

[@bartekgolda7687]

Is "sea bird" instad of "seabird" or "birth place" instead of "birthplace" acceptable? All about pure spacing... Would I get a point for each of them in that case? :)

[@trinhthuy8894]

Have you had any advice for doing better in part 4, I’m really confuse in this part than others!!!

[@VietFCE]

Keep practicing. The more we practice, the better we do. Hear are some tips for part 4: + Read and listen to the instructions + Use the time given to read the text and try to predict the sort of information you are going to hear. + Focus on a detail understanding of the meaning of the text. + Try to choose the best option for each question during the first listening and check again during the second listening. + Try to practice and listen to as much English as you can. Listening to English podcasts, radio programmes, watching films …The more you listen, the more you will hear. + Put a dot beside the answer you think is correct when you listen for the first time. Then make your final choice on the second listening.

In the comments

[@phuonglaihakhanh2616]

do you have the transcript ?

[@diemin9782]

Part 3/18th I do not understand why the answer is C. The scrip told that " sense of freedom", but the answer" sense of belonging". Can you explain this?

[@andrewkulgin4380]

Hi! Then he continued saying that this place gives him a feeling "Where I'm meant to be" meaning sense of belonging - I think)

[@marinemotsradze4295]

21/ 30 with some slips.

[@VietFCE]

Good score! Keep it up.

[@tanhnguyen2025]

oh i see. My mistake was that I didn't read the question. Thats why i found the answers confusing

[@DuongThuy-br8lt]

16/30 , how many points are enough?

[@VietFCE]

In the real exam, we'll achieve C1 level (for the listening part) when we get at least 18/30.
