[Shalu27ashi]

Is this the right answer for Question Number 17 & 20 ? Forum is divided on this. Please share your inputs.

I have answered as mentioned but many others r debating with their answers no one is clear with the right answer... we just have to wait see the band score..

This has happened to me in the Letter

In the letter relating to improvements to the apartment, in the first bullet point, the question was asking why I was happy living in the flat... I misread as "not happy" and this will ruin my task achievement criterion. may be 5, 4 or even 3.

Let's wait and see how it may turn out to be!!!!

You have made a blunder in letter Which gets scored in over all 30% wherein I hav done in major part of that passage writing and am just hating myself because of such silly blunder which I hav made.. I don’t understand how I could miss out dos words ‘having children’

Hello guys ,
I would like to ask you about the conversation question in the listening part? Do anyone clearly remember it ?
Some kind of research .

 

[ashki008]

Dont worry.. teacher at british council has clearly said task 2 is 70 % and task 1 is 30%.. 70 30 ratio.. task achievement is jus one criteria.. u have other three criteria to be marked.. so youll get through

THIS COMMENT MADE ME REALLY RELIEVED -

25% of 30% isn't a big issue. I hope for a 7 because this is my 7th attempt due to repetition of the test just because of Writing

The Rest, I got S8, R7.5, L8.5 - Fluctuated over the course of last 6 attempts but maintained them above minimum.

Fingers crossed o_o

30 linguistic differnt from others - last para of first page where mantii was there .


31 y daniel known workd wide - para where scientist say that daniel express things that others cannot that make him exciting .


32 description of problem solving - where he written multiplication result in image .


33 true (left or right hemisphere)
34 false
35 not given (people encourage)
36 imaginary ....
37 Autism research centre (ARC)
38 left hemisphere
39 cube roots
40 Manti (two dots above A as in text every manti word has those so i put them)

I doubt 33 is true as the question was if left hemisphere is the cause of mathematical abilities ? Its either false or NG but surely not true. Any views ?
For matching para... wats answer for the question tat said - study has already been done on Daniel ..... ?

 

[can_2019]

Anyone knows description of correct options for answers of Listening 23 and 24 ? For 25 it was ( Aim/method/conclusion) Answer was Aim as Daniel only agreed for conclusion not both.

Q. 33 was about changes in brain lead to mathematical abilities, This is what i can recall and It is certainly True going by the article published here - https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2005/feb/12/weekend7.weekend2

For the Q. "Study already been carried out"..That ARC paragraph was definitely not the answer. So I marked as C where Professor Allan Snyder, from the Centre for the Mind at the Australian National University in Canberra, explains why Tammet is of particular, and international, scientific interest.
