• Check your sentence for grammar, spelling and
punctuation. Make sure that every sentence you
write in a response box begin with a capital letter
and ends with a fullstop.
• Check for proper noun, if there is any proper noun in
the sentence that must start with a capital letter.
 10 Minutes Break
• After the completion of reading section, you will have
an option for 10 minutes break. I recommend you to
take that break because you are tired and exhausted
after reading section and if you go into your listening
section it’s going to be hard and you are going to lose
a lot of points. Listening actually requires a lot of
concentration so it is important for you to take that
break.
