Actually I HATE EXAMS ! but in your academic life you have to take them just improve your skill and to make an evidence about your success ! but must of exams are boring I like practical exams in labs or something like this NOT: I totally agree that exams don't judge or assess the intelligence of the student !

I think every exam should have its own discipline and the students have to observed all the above rules during exam. I have passed many exams but they didn't contain the above rules.

I cannot see the preparation in this lesson.

Hello Estudent

I'm sorry to hear that you can't see the Preparation task. I've checked it and I can see and use it with no problem on my computer. Could you please try using a different web browser or different device to see if you can see the task there?

If you are still not able to see it the task, are you able to see the task with pictures (above Task 1) on this page? If not, that means that the problem has to do with your device or browser, I'm afraid.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

All the best

With the task 1, the question books seem is a error beacuse when I answer poster 1 &3, the computer is not accept.

Hello Flower1985,

The correct answer is Poster 2, so the computer should show 1 and 3 as incorrect.

 

Tick the posters that say something about ...

talking

Poster 2

No talking.
