Dear Vishal Bhai,
I have taken this test last month. I got a band score of 7.0. This is very simple test but some things you need to take care of are:
1) Reading section, although seems to be very easy, takes lots of time in exam and needs to be copeup with good prep.
2) Use book by Cambridge University press (not to forget, VOL3, which is latest)
3) speaking, for which we all are worried is the coolest section and no need to worry.

Please mail me at anilsangwan@yahoo.com for further clarifications if yo have. I will be more than happy to answer your doubts.
All the best for Exam!!!

hi brother
its a very simple test .u can give it through British Counsil or through IDP.i will suggest u IDP bcoz they r new in this n they will give u headphones in the leasning test whereas in British Counsil they will be playing a sound system like speaker n genearlly IDP is preferred.rest up to u.now the preparation ....what i will suggest ,u should join any choaching classes bcoz there u will be regular n will practice regularly.the is a test of little practice thast is.but remember that reading is goona be tough .actually its not toug but its long enough to be completed in time.but it all depends upon ur speed .there r people who completed in in a very short pan of time .but generally u sholud think about it from the starting..rest of the exam is very easy.if u in chandigarh then join GREY MATTERS .its in sector 17 market near dc office n above the bridge.in delhi i dont know??
if u have any queries then u can contact me any time.

Hi
This is a very simple test. If you are not confident, yo can join classes at BCD , KG Marg for 40 Hrs @ Rs. 5000/-. But you won't need to attend the classes. As Anoop said , go for iDP while you are taking test.

Try speaking good english also. You have a speaking section also where you have to participate in conversation between U and examiner. So don't worry , it is simple



BEST OF LUCK
