That's all folks!

Classes are over, so time has come to give you some final advice ...
and how could I resist the temptation of watching, once again, Mr. Bean taking an exam?


  • Get plenty of sleep the night before, and don't eat too much on the exam day.
  • Make sure you arrive with time to spare so that you can chat with your friends and go in calmly rather than in a frantic rush.
  • It may sound stupid, but don't forget to read the instructions of every exercise, and make sure you know what you have to do.
  • It may sound even more stupid but, as we've said so many times,  in the oral/written exam, use what you know,  NOT what you don't know. SHOW what you know, not what you don't know!
  • Write slowly, don't translate, KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) connect your ideas, use words/structures that you've leant.
  • In the oral exam, relax and be ready to have a nice conversation with your partner (L3 remember to play tennis!). L2-L3: Don't worry about the words you don't know and concentrate on the things you know (L2)
  • Leave your mobile phone at home, don't forget your pens, your ID, just  relax, concentrate, keep the right dose of adrenaline ready for action and ...
  • ...enjoy it!

    Thanks for your attention and your patience all through the year and...
    I wish you all the best!
