So, how do you prepare to ace the LanguageCert Test of English (LTE)? Check out some

important tips and strategies below and apply them to your LTE preparation!

• Set a clear, achievable, concrete goal. Evaluate your level first and be reasonably but not overly ambitious.
• Give yourself enough time to prepare for the test!
• Invest in extra resources. Make sure you make good use of them
• Plan a personalised study programme. Remember we do not all study or learn the same way.
• Try to enjoy your training as much as possible. Challenge your previous scores.
• Divide your exam preparation time appropriately: devote the same amount of time to both Listening and Reading.
• Know the format of the test and what to expect (e.g. topics, language functions to be expected).
• Research the ‘test regulations’ before your test so as not to worry about them on your Test Day.
• Don’t skip any question. Remember, in the adaptive test you must answer each question to get to the next one.
• Be familiar with the platform of the CB adaptive test. Get to know it in good time, practice with it, be aware of how it can support you if needed.
• Don’t worry about the adaptive function of the adaptive CB test (e.g. whether the questions are getting easier or not). Focus on the test items.
• Don’t panic if you can’t find the answer. Look for context clues which are always there or look for wrong answers instead of correct ones.
• Aim to answer as many questions as possible and guess as a last resort. Always answer every question.
• Keep an eye on the time.
• Try to manage your stress on Test Day. That will help you perform better on your Test Day.
• Take advantage of mass media and websites which are great ways to improve your English! Watch, listen and read real English on a regular basis!
