If you are looking for a 79 and above in your test and let's say in your last exam or in
the mock test, you scored less than 50, is it a good idea to continue practicing or should
you look for alternatives?
This is what I'm going to discuss in today's video.
If you are interested, keep watching.
If you're new to this channel, my name is Ramon, I'm founder of Ramon Beaty, and in
this video, I'm going to discuss whether it is possible for anyone to get more than 79
or not and if it is possible, what can be done to get it in the shortest possible time
to get it started.
Our question for today is, can anyone score 79 and Nabob or not?
And the answer to this question is yes, anyone can get more than 79, provided that they are
careful about a few factors which can affect their score in the test and be able to gain
some skills which can help them to reach that place.
That's what we are going to discuss in detail now.
So the first thing here is remember that it's not just about tips and tricks.
This is one of the misunderstanding many people have.
If I learned that interest, then I'll get good tips and tricks can enhance your score
by a few points, but they cannot make your score jump from 40 to 90 overnight.
Actually, you need a balance of skills and strategies.
And what that means is you need to learn, set in his skills and make sure that you also
know certain tips and tricks so that you can use those skills in the right way.
And without wasting much time, you can get your score.
So how can we do that?
What are these skills?
What should you learn for your test?
And does it mean that you need to have some in-depth understanding of English language?
Or we can actually make it more efficient by focusing on certain types of skills only
and then apply that in tips and tricks.
So let's have a look at that.
When it comes to skill for this test, you have to have a basic understanding of four
different skills, which are vocabulary, grammar, spelling and pronunciation.
Anyone preparing for this test must have a good understanding of these four skills, must
be able to use these skills in the right way.
When it comes to skills, we all know that learning these things are actually quite difficult.
I'm a non-native speaker myself and I had to learn all these skills one by one.
And because of that I have a first hand experience of how confusing and tiring learning this
skills can be.
But at the same time, because of my experience of teaching English for the last 14 years,
as well as teaching for the last five years, what I know is you don't need to learn all
the words in English and you don't need to learn all the rules and grammar.
That means you need to be focused.
There are certain things you have to learn and there are certain things you have to master.
So when it comes to vocabulary, for example, you have to learn collocations.
This colocation list is provided by Pearson.
It has twenty five hundred different collocation combinations that you have to go through.
You don't need to memorize any of them.
You just have to go through them a couple of times until you start feeling more familiar
with them.
Once you feel familiar, that's how you'll be able to use them in the exam and get the
score you desire.
And then you also have to go through the Academic World List, which has five hundred and seventy
words.
If you go through these words, it will be easier for you to understand the question,
understand the recording and then give appropriate response.
The second thing is in grammar, you don't have to learn all the rules of grammar, but
you have to make sure that you have a basic understanding of three important aspects of
grammar.
And they are Dennes voice and parts of your speech.
Make sure that you know about the basics of these three topics in grammar, especially
Dennes.
Make sure you know all 12 different types of den's that is structures and where they
are used.
If you have a good understanding of this, it will help you to provide an appropriate
answer to certain questions as well as it will help you to answer the questions, such
as fill in the blanks, fill in the blanks, reading and writing and dictation more effectively.
It can also help you fill in the blanks of listening.
Parts of his speech is extremely important when it comes to answering Fill In the Blanks
question in reading.
We have eight different parts of a speech and you need to have a basic understanding
of at least four of them, which are nouns of adjective in Advo.
So how much time perhaps it will take if you have to go through all of this?
I think just around one hour and then after that you just have to revise it a couple of
times and you will not have any problem.
So whenever somebody mentions grammar, we feel scared because we feel like grammar is
really complicated and perhaps will not be able to cover all of them or understand all
of them.
And as I said, you don't have to understand everything, but you just have to make sure
that your practice, your approach is focused.
And you have a good understanding of these three topics at least.
And then after that, you can start applying them while answering the questions.
And for this, you can take help of your tutor if you are going to an institute or otherwise.
There are many videos on YouTube which you can watch and learn from them as well.
The next thing I mentioned was a spelling.
Spelling is quite crucial because there are certain questions where unless you spell the
word correctly, you don't get any points at all, for example, and fill in the blanks of
listening and dictation.
You don't get any points for your answer unless all the words you have written have been correctly
spelled, because here every word carries one point.
All of them should be correctly spelled.
And in writing and summarize the spoken text, you get two points punctuation for spelling.
So you can see that it can play a major role in your exam when it comes to getting high
score, because dictation is one of the most important questions in your exam.
And in this question you have to spell all the words correctly to get points.
It's really important that you spend some time enhancing your spelling in school.
Now, again, there are so many words, so how can you know which words you need to know
how to spell?
And then again, you can make it focused by focusing on these three types of words.
The first is frequently used words in between.
If you have a list of the frequently used words in between.
You can go through that list and make sure that you can spell all the words correctly
for the first time.
What you can do is you can go through the words and mark the words that you find difficult
or confusing to spell.
And then in the second round, you can just focus on those words.
You also have to have a good understanding of most common misspellings in English, because
these are the words Peerson tends to use in fill in the blanks and dictation.
So if you have a good understanding of these common misspellings, it will help you again.
And then there can be a few words which can be difficult for you to spell.
Everyone can have their own set of words which they find difficult to spell.
So you should spend a little time thinking about those kind of words.
Which words do you find difficult to spell?
You always get confused, although nobody else finds it confusing.
For example, in my case, when I'm spelling out certain words, I always feel confused
despite teaching English.
For such a long time, the reason for that is we all have our own individual problems
and we just need to be aware of them so that we can find strategies to tackle them then
pronunciation, pronunciation.
Hussein is a major barrier for many students to get a scoring, a speaking and in listening,
because speaking and listening are so much integrated with each other.
If you do not perform that well in speaking, you can't get as good in listening as well.
And because of that poor pronunciation often results in poor scoring speaking as well as
in listening.
But how should you practice it?
Do you need to know all the nitty gritty details of pronunciation?
Do you have to have perfect Brannon's listening skills?
No.
How long can it take to improve your pronunciation again, if you really want to improve your
pronunciation to the level of the native speaker?
You definitely have to spend a lot of time.
But fortunately for Peaty, you don't need to do that because again, there are only six
types of words that person uses in its exam that you need to learn how to pronounce.
Most of these words come from the consonant clusters.
If you have no idea about that.
Make sure that you learn about this before you start working on your pronunciation.
Otherwise, you'll waste a lot of time learning the pronunciation of words which will never
be asked in your exam and which will not help you to get this going.
So for the pronunciation part.
I have divided words into two categories.
The first is commonly tested words in speaking and the second is commonly used words in his
speaking.
So in commonly tested words in his speaking.
I'm focusing on the questions like read aloud, repeat sentence answers, hard questions and
a lecture.
In these types of questions.
I have to answer the question espersen ones.
That means there is a fixed answer for all these questions.
And in a way what Pearson is testing is whether I can see these words in the right way or
not otherwise are not good points.
So what I need to do here is, for example, in our center, what we have done is we have
gone through all these questions, extracted the words that we see more often in these
questions.
EDDS And then we have prepared a list of words that students can go through and then prepare
themselves.
At the same time, we have also prepared a list of words that are used in describing
a means for describing them as, for example, while describing different types of line grabs
by charts or tables.
People tend to use only a set of words.
So we make sure that people are students can pronounce these words without any problem.
And if they do that, even if they have problem with other words, it will not have any impact
on their score in the exam because they know how to pronounce the important words that
they have to use.
So again, for pronunciation in as well, you don't have to know how to pronounce all the
words.
You just have to know how to pronounce certain types of words, words which they are going
to ask and words which you have to use.
This way you will have a few words, do you practice?
And because of that, it will be easier and faster for you to get your Tokita score.
So these are the skills you need, but just having a skills is not enough.
Again, this is another mistake many people make because I'm good in English.
I think I'll get to school in Pitou so I don't need to prepare.
This is a very common misunderstanding and it is the reason why many people with good
skills fail in the test, because the second step now is to learn the tips and tricks which
can enhance your score.
Let's discuss some tips and tricks which can help you to enhance your school with the help
of the skills you gained from the previous discussion.
There are five things you need to consider.
First is loopholes in algorithm.
The algorithm Pearson uses for automatic scoring has some problems.
Because of that, we can exploit those problems and get those score.
Some people call it cheating computer.
I call them loopholes and algorithm.
So you need to know in which questions.
Pearson's algorithm is not perfect and we can manipulate it.
Second, we also need to know this coding criteria so that we know how questions are scored and
we focus on those areas which can get us more points.
Third, we have to find out which questions are important and which are not, so that we
can spend more time on important questions and get more scores and do not waste time
on unimportant questions.
So this applies to both practice as well as the exam.
In practice, we need to spend more time on important questions and during the exam as
well, we need to spend more time on important questions and spend as little time as possible
and unimportant questions.
Templates are really good for certain types of questions, and we have to decide in which
question types.
We can simply use templates and save time.
And the last one is best question in Pearsons exam.
It uses past questions a lot.
And because of that we have to know in which types of questions practicing basic questions
can be helpful and in which types of questions it's not necessary.
So let's go through all of them one by one, starting with loopholes and algorithm.
Pearson's algorithm has a problem in questions like speaking and writing where users can
give various types of answers are.
In other words, the same question can be answered in thousands of different ways because of
that person's algorithm struggles to understand certain types of answers.
And on the other hand, it easily gives highest possible.
The school for certain types of cancer, even if technically they are not perfect, so which
are these types of questions where we can manipulate the algorithm in his speaking?
These questions are intellectual.
Describe him and answers hard questions.
If you learn that intrigues in these types of questions, you can easily fool the computer
and get this good your desire without developing the skills of English required to use it effectively.
Which means if you are preparing for this test for the speaking about learn the tricks
which can beat the computer for this, you can refer to some of the videos I have made
earlier, or if you are one of our students and you still feel like I think I need to
polish on this area, get in touch with us so that we can help you with those skills
on the writing side, summarize, written text, summarize the spoken text and ask all these
three questions can be answered perfectly even if we don't have perfect skills.
And again, you need to learn these loopholes so that you can get you a score.
If you have certain deficits in your skills, then the scoring criteria.
Scoring criteria is important to know for all the question types, but more important
for repeat offenders and right from dictation.
Because the tricks that we use in Repeats Indians and right from dictation depend on
the scoring criteria.
Because of that, although the algorithm does not have that many loopholes in these questions,
we know the scoring criteria itself is not perfect or not perfect in the sense that it
cannot detect all your problems.
It can only look at certain areas of your performance and because of that we can easily
manipulate the system and get the score redesign.
So make sure that you are aware of these loopholes based on the scoring criteria and try to apply
them in your exam.
That way you will be able to get this go to your desired in these two questions types,
then templates.
Templates are quite useful because they make the process of answering the question faster
as well as easier.
And you can use templates in certain types of questions.
For example, in a speaking in a lecture and describing this, you can easily use the templates
which fulfil all the criteria for getting high score and make sure that you have got
feedback on using the template from one of your tutors or from someone who knows better
than you while using template.
Just be careful about one thing.
Not all the Democrats are equally useful or not.
All the templates address all the criteria for scoring.
You need to make sure that the template you are using is of the highest possible quality
and don't use template just by memorizing it.
Learn how to use it.
Learn how to complete the gaps in the template.
Learn how to modify it according to the question type.
Just copying the template from one of your friends and then using it in the exam can
actually do more damage, especially if you are not aware of the important ideas that
you need to integrate in the template.
So make sure that while using the template, you also know how to modify it according to
the question.
And what are the limitations of the template so that you know when not to use it?
Boss, questions are really helpful because Pearson uses past questions a lot in its exam.
But then you need to be careful not to depend too much in based questions for two reasons.
First, there is no guarantee that you will get your questions from the past questions
because at any time Pearson can use new questions.
And second is.
Practicing or memorizing prosecution may not be useful for certain types of questions,
so in which types of questions, you should practice past questions more than anything
in reading your paragraph, fill in the blanks and fill in the blanks.
Reading and writing in these three questions, you practice prosecution.
Not only these questions make you familiar with the exam question pattern as well as
the difficulty level.
Sometimes the same question might appear in the exam, making it easier for you to answer
those questions, as is also repeat all the time.
So going through these cases can help you be prepared with the content for the exam.
And dictation is another question type where questions repeat a lot.
So in these three types of questions, in reading as in dictation, I think you should spend
a little time practicing the past questions, but not by memorizing it, but by getting the
concepts required to answer those questions or learning the tips and tricks to answer
those questions.
Questions also repeating in speaking and writing as well, for example, and read a lecture describing
his answers and questions, as well as summaries written to summarize the spoken text and essay
writing out of these six questions except for essay writing in all the other five questions,
it's not a good idea to memorize the answer or spend too much time with the past questions,
because all those five questions can be easily answered by using certain tips and tricks.
So rather than wasting your time memorizing the answers, you can actually learn the tips
and tricks so that no matter what they use in the exam, you can answer them.
All right.
So this is all about what you can do to get more than seventy-nine in the exam.
This is just a brief discussion of what should be done.
But of course, everyone has their own style and their own strengths and weakness.
You need to identify them and prepare your plan accordingly.
That's what we do at home.
And we make sure that we know you, we know you in terms of your strengths and weaknesses
so that we can find the opportunities for you, so that we can tell you the right kind
of tips and tricks that can work for you.
Always remember that what works for others may not work for you.
So you have to be really, really specific when it comes to learning new strategies for
your exam at the same time.
English is such a vast language, so you have to be really focused when you are trying to
learn skills.
You need to create a balance between your skills and Hendriks so that you can easily
get your desired score, even if that is more than 79 for that matter, even 90.
