In question no. 23. note-taking can be written as note taking. So is it right if i rite note taking?
yes
Few comments:
1) Having an issue with question 28. It is not there.
2) Question 20 – ONE WORD OR A NUMBER. Not numberS, but a number. One number. It would be incorrect to type two numbers. Otherwise, I need to type FIVE (like this), which is not logical.
3) The test is okay, as the admin mentioned before it can be difficult and easy. Depends on test makers.
Words with – that 5-12 are considered as one and not two.
Few queries:
In ques 20, i have written = 5 to 12
In ques 23, i have written = at note-taking
In ques 30, i have written = 25th
Are these considered right or wrong??
first is wrong it should be 5-12 rest are fine.
n.8 I answered: miss
n.20 I answered statistic
Is two error or is also ok in the test?
both are wrong
are these tests suitable for Academic Ielts. Or is it general?
both
