jrc01 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Has anyone completed the online Pearson mock tests? Do you think they're representative of the test on the day? I just scored 90 across the board in the one I just took which makes me suspicious as I swear I sucked at a few of the speaking ones... I did get 73 in pronunciation which not sure what that was based off of. Shame I can't get a breakdown of my answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkymalarky Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 yeah they are pretty close although the biggest thing your missing the actual pressure of being in those conditions on the day which we all know makes alot of difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I might take my second scored mock with a film on in the background or something to have some kind of background noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped that being an Oxford-educated native speaker that I'd breeze through but some of the test is harder than you'd expect! I've been having a few memory issues lately so sections like 'listen to this sentence and say it back' I find especially stressful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont over think it or stress if you cant keep up i messed up 1 or 2 and i still scored 90 for speaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
