- Step 2 - Prepare for the test as best you can, here are some tips:
- Download some selkouutiset podcasts in which you can listen to the Finnish news being read slowly and clearly!
- Talk to your Finnish-speaking friends and colleagues as much as possible in Finnish. Practice makes perfect ;)
- Step 3 - Test day!
- Bring a pencil, a spare pencil and a rubber with you. You are not allowed to write in ink.
- The test lasts up to 4 hours and it varies according to test location whether there is a 30 minute break in the middle or 5-10 minute breaks in-between each discipline. In both cases, it's a great idea to bring a snack along to replenish your energy as it can be quite exhausting. I'd recommend a banana or a cereal bar!
- It's like being back in school, during the breaks, don't cave in a discuss with the other people which multiple-choice answers you picked. You'll only make yourself feel worse!
- Step 4 - Do your worst.
