Consejos de examen de EUpassway · editorial, no son normas oficiales

1Aim above 5/25 everywhere

A high total does not help if one part is below 5/25. Train your weakest skill first.

2Practise with timing

Do a full written practice in one sitting (2 h 30) so you know how it feels.

3Book early

Centres have registration windows and limited places. Check two or three centres near you.

4Keep the diploma safe

The diploma is valid for life and you may need it for several applications. Keep a scan and the original.
