Five preparation habits worth rethinking.
Better preparation is often about improving how you practise.
Practising without a destination
Know your accepted exam and target before you begin. Use current official materials to understand what you are preparing for.
Skipping the review
A mock test is only useful if you learn from it. Track mistakes, identify patterns and ask for feedback on skills you cannot assess yourself.
Memorizing every response
Practise organizing your thoughts and speaking naturally instead of relying on complete memorized answers.
Leaving timing until the end
Gradually add timed practice. Follow the navigation rules of your particular exam; they are not identical across tests.
Expecting a universal timeline
Choose a sustainable routine based on your starting point. Adjust it as your skills develop.
