Second Language Evaluation tips
I've managed to get to the language testing phase of one federal government contest. I will be tested next weekend on reading comprehension and written expression, and so I don't have a lot of time to prepare. I have looked at the PSC's website and while I feel prepared to answer the reading comprehension questions, the 'writing' questions seem rather a different story. From what I can tell, the majority of the questions are on recognizing minor grammatical errors related to accents and, more prominently, gender. Aside from seeming like a ridiculous way of testing someone's ability to make themselves understood in writing, it also seems like something very difficult to study for, other than by flipping open a dictionary and memorizing. I imagine there are lots of people on here who have gone through this testing process and am just wondering if anyone has any tips for this test? Any help would be appreciated. Merci beaucoup!
