Exam tips

1. Don't jump to conclusions:
   • Sometimes just one word being different can alter the sense.
   • Two sentences can use different words but still mean the same thing. The same information may just be presented in a different order.
2. Use clues to help you:
   • Check out time words and phrases. You'll find them in the vocabulary section
3. Look carefully at any word you don't know:
   • Is it similar to an English word? Look closely at words eg imprudencia, velocidad, propietario
4. Unfamiliar vocabulary:
   • Higher level texts often deliberately use some unfamiliar vocabulary.
   • Don't panic if you don't understand all the words. You can probably still work out what is happening!
