  • This course is very helpful because it explains precisely how the test is structured and scored. Additionally, it teaches the types of questions commonly asked for each skill (Speaking, Writing, Reading, Listening) and includes many quizzes throughout the course. Old tests are also used to help you practice. The instructors constantly provide tips to improve your skills and perform your best on the test. You'll enjoyed as much as I did!

    Poderiam colocar a página com tradução para que estudantes de outro idioma consigam entender a metologia do curso e se inscrever. Posteriormente o curso poderia ser escrito todo em inglês.
