Yes, yes.. you have been badgering me to upload. Ok it is now Monday and someone kindly sent me the scanned copy of the reading test for Session 1, 2025. There are a few tricky questions. You may argue to your heart's content but remember to be civil about it.
After you get your result, times it by 9 and then look at the banding.. so if you get 30... 30x9=270 so that makes it Band 4.5... it is a good estimate of how your actual results MAY look like.
