Exam Practice A

Try and do it without looking up answers and do it in the recommended time. If you are happy working
on screen, you can do these tasks straight into Word. If you prefer paper and pencil, do the task under
timed conditions and then type it into Word to upload it (without changing anything). We ask for it in
Word and not scanned in as then tutors can comment on things electronically.

commitment and may include the use of vague language. For example, Maybe she just
feels kinda blue. Perhaps, we should leave now.

d A term used to describe a language test where one test taker’s results are decided by
comparing them to other test takers’ results instead of using external criteria.
