Isn't the whole English proficiency test, that certain PPRuNers are miffed about underperforming in, all really to do with exam technique? :

If you sit a new style exam for the first time , because you are unfamiliar with it, you are likely to underperform.

That's why from poor little sods sitting SATs age 7 right up to A levels and beyond there are 'mock' exams partly to be sure that the format of the exam is understood (as well as confirming a respectable level of knowledge of course) .

P'raps there should be 'mock' English proficiency exams.........
