Dear Mari,
Thank you for your insightful thoughts. I agree with you that I need to do a lot of research. I am reading this forum 24/7 as I am finding very helpful. I am also amazed how people,after reading all the information, feel obliged to come back here and share their experiences. This is something I, definitely, plan on doing!
As for the prep course, I was doing some research and a lot of the websites said that doing a course is a complete waste of time and money. So, I am just planning on (literally) memorizing their website, and reading through those forums by making summaries. How does that sound to you? I swear I already learned a ton from this forum.
Also, I speak perfect English but I am wondering how to get ready for the English Test? You know, just in case. It would be embarrassing to fail because of English. (or at least for me.)
cheers,
Hala
