How to use a practice set

Attempt the item before you show the answer, then open it in the player and score the real thing: the recording for speaking tasks, the written response for writing tasks. Six to eight scored attempts a day on the task behind your lowest skill moves a score faster than reading every item unscored. Start from a free scored mock if you do not yet know which skill that is.
