Make sure you know how the task is scored

READING: Multiple choice, choose multiple answers

Read the instructions carefully. Remember that more than one option is correct in this type of multiple choice item.  

You will score marks for any correct options but you will lose score points for any incorrect options; these include:
•    options that you have clicked on as correct but which are wrong
•    options that are correct but that you have not clicked on

If you click on all the options, because you do not know the answer, you will lose score points. This applies to Multiple choice, choose multiple answers item types for reading and listening.

    If there are 4 parts in a single question; say a,b,c,d and only one is corrected in answer. would i loose 3 points or all the points?
    same as in fill in the blanks, if there are 4 blanks in single question. would i loose all points or of a incorrect answer only?

    Objective type exam is easy to score as well as easy to loose. Speed and accuracy is the best way to win that exam. Try to study which all questions should be avoided in the exam. Never ever do guess works. You can read more from professional resume writing service for easy to understand.

    If I choose only one answer, do I still get 1 mark or I will get zero because I have to pick at least 2 asnwers ?

    Consider getting any type of safeguarded debit card with your financial institution. Official Site Electronic banking is a time efficient selection for lots of people since it conserves much time.

Answer the question. If the question asks you to write or speak about sport, write or speak about ‘sport’ NOT ‘science’

Respond quickly and keep speaking during speaking tasks. The microphone will close after 3 seconds of silence and stop recording

Click Next (N) before you have completed the task and are ready to move on
