Hi Viet, many thanks for the resources which help me pass the exam and get the c2 !!

That was the first time I had difficulty in understanding part 4 and the other parts were easier than other times

[Amandavasc]

While I was doing it I thought I was failing, but turns out I got 25/30 🙏

[stellamissaoui]

I did 28/30!
I don't understand why 22 is H, what does "spending a lot of time" mean?
I put C because she said "I go into another world when I'm doing it" so I thought she was talking about travelling

[aaaaa]

Wonderful. Thank you very much. I am grateful for your help. Best wishes.

27/30 somehow I got everything from part 3 right. Also, when two words connected with 'and' are required in part two, are any credits given if I've guessed one of them correctly but the other is wrong?

[taivinh]

it's the most assiduous test that i've ever done
