As you already know we have a new type of "PEvAU" test . The calling for 2020 exam includes several changes that you can check on this blog on the PAGES SECTION.
You can also see the post that I prepared for you on May 8th for more information.
TODAY'S ASSIGNMENT:
This week you are going to practise with the new model as follows.
CLICK HERE to download a model of the new university entry test and be ready to answer the COMPREHENSION SECTION.
You have to choose one of the two test and answer all the questions. The correction criteria are same as always in this section. Use 30 minutes maximum of your time to answer the questions and post the answers on the blog. Corrections will be published at 15.30, so that everybody has time to see the post and write a comment with the answer, so I would ask you to check the blog after the deadline time to see my feedback.
Remember not to use a dictionary, use a maximum of 30 minutes, and referenciate the test option ( A or B) in your blog answer.
See you tomorrow with more practice!
