TEST O The big day Whatever candidates may think about examiners, they are not in
fact __(1)__ monsters, dripping red ink instead of blood, but ordinary
people who will do their best to pass candidates as __(2)__ as candidates
follow certain basic rules of the game. Many candidates are __(3)__ in
the First Certificate not because their English is __(4)__ but because
they are __(5)__ about the requirements of the examination. Before
you __(6)__ for the examination, make sure you know what is expected
of you; you are __(7)__ to do well unless you answer all the questions
set, and don’t include __(8)__ material. Don’t start writing as __(9)__
as you get the paper - think first, write __(1O)__! If part of an answer
is incorrect, you __(11)__ cross it out and write the preferred answer
neatly above it. If your handwriting __(12)__ illegible, it will be
difficult for the examiner to give you credit for it, __(13)__ it is right
or __(14)__. You will also lose marks if your essay is written in an
__(15)__ style for the type of writing and intended audience.
