What should I revise for english for the entrance exam of IT

Post by MefLou » Sat Apr 12, 2014 6:26 pm

The title say all the question
I'm going to pass the entrance exam in Mikkeli in 24 April
I know I'm going to be tested on:
- Math
- Chem/Phys
- English
I don't know how the english test will be and what should I revise for it

Also What about the grading it's over 100 but how it is calculated ?

You dont know that.

Also grading is irrelevant, you either pass or not and grading doesn't have anything to do with that. It can be from 1 to over 9000 or orange to banana but its still same to all. Best wins

He's just joking about how you worded your first sentence.

"I'm going to pass the entrance exam in Mikkeli" implies that you already know you are going to be successful the exam. You should word it as "I am going to take/participate in the entrance exam in Mikkeli".

Just took the exam in Vietnam last week. In the English test, there were True/False questions based on an academic article. We also were asked to write a short paragraphs about a given topic, mine was about global warming (same as Longo's friend). But I think there are several sets/packages of exam questions. Best of luck for all of us fighting here :)
