I am a bit different. I started to study about 6 weeks before the exam, but I studied about 7-10 hours per day, at least. Find a library, get down there around 10 o’clock in the morning, and leave around 10 o’clock at night and you shall be fine. Btw, no computer and no cell phone (the key). You need a study bubby as well in this case as you can get bored relatively easily.
Yes, in winter it’s only test center for all CIS countries and for several years it was only one test center even for June exam. Even now lots of candidates from CIS prefer to come to Moscow.
I thought about taking exam in other location just to be more concentrated to exsm, but “at home even walls help” and you can avoid lots of difficulties.
haha, let me guess, are you a Zenit fan?
I’m definitely looking at mid-October. Half of me wants to start now but I’ve been told its counterproductive at this point.
