Life in UK 考题资源
1月份过的 Life In UK
先晒一下 这张过的纸很重要, 不能丢哦.工作人员说 “This expires when you expire” 哈哈, 意思是说只要你活着,就有效, 如果丢了就得重考.而且不能复印,只能原件申请永居
这个考试是所有申请永居(也就是绿卡, PR, Indefinite Leave to Remain) 必要的一个条件.考试费用50 镑..
24道选择题,对18 道就可以过, 题库约有 2000多题,千变万化,所以死记题目是没有用的..
我在 Sheffield 考的.11:30 的考试,10点多就到了, 真的很慢,各种检查ID,考试的机器很旧,考试前工作人员还得一个一个 login authorise 后才能考试,
浪费了不少时间.
我的经验是先做题,把不懂的知识点抄在纸上,然后不懂的再去翻书.这样会记得清楚,最好是要理解的记.
先看书的话可能都静不下心来看, 先记题的话再看书就比较熟悉.有些比较容易混的题,比如 MEP 是 ‘proportional’ 而 UK MPs 是 ‘first past the post’
那个官发的习题只有17套题,远远不够,今天就考了好几道里面没有的题.
每次题目都是随机,所以同一场考试的人的题目不是一样的..
我做的题有 (48)
