    Dear all,

    I have been following this thread for awhile... and I am currently self studying at home in Malaysia. I have not book my exam date yet, as I am not ready. I have to admit that I have been giving myself a lot of pressure, knowing that the exam is difficult and i know nothing about Dutch language. My concern mainly is I have very poor memory skill, and I find it hard to remember the dutch words that i have studied.

    Wanted to check with you all if the real exam is very similar or exactly the same as the text book that we've got?

    Is there any extra tips that you would advice?

    Very nervous!

    Hi everybody,
    I bought my book 5-6 years ago.
    I read more then once that some of you learned the texts in the book - do you refer to the answers regarding the pictures? or are there more texts that im not aware of?
    thanks

    Oyot - do u mean u find it difficult to remember the Dutch words u learn from the study pack? I think I only need to learn the words and try to remember, but no need to be all of them. If u mean words from the tegentellingen then yes, it's really difficult but it helps u a lot on guaranteeing u hv a better chance passing the TGN while most ppl find it hard to gain scores from the repeating sentences. If u mean its difficult to remember the words when u r doing the repeating sentence then u just try ur best. Try to copy the words (or even just sounds when u don't know what words that is) coz its v blurry in the real exam anyways. U only need to try to spot the words u recognize from the sentence and then for the other words or sound u just copy them - make a lot of practice before the real exam - get help from a Dutch speaker (both of u listen to some online audio clip and then let the dutch speaker to tell u how many words u made it correct after u repeat them).

    Suki - my bf ordered an extra practice tests pack which contain 2 TGN and 2 GBL. Plus the other 4 from the study pack I had 8 tests to use. But it turned out that 1 TGN test didn't show the result and the other three are quite similar -_- and the GBL tests have a lot of duplicated parts. So only those 4 from the self study pack is enough I think. U can try to get a feeling how the real exam will be with all the same instructions and the flow. In details I will tell u later today over the phone ;-)

    Hope these info are helpful for u two!

    To Gen

    Thanks a lot for ur advice Gen! Now I realize it could be my pronounciation is not as similar as the audio I heard. I will focus on my intonation etc these few days - and try to repeat the sound I hear as good as possible.

    U must had prepared v well for the exam! And that's why u got such a high score in TGN! I also want to be take the exam when I feel ready. Yet my bf's company has suddenly offer him a one year contract and therefore I must try to pass the exam before his contract start in January.

    Have to thank u again for ur prompt reply and useful tips!

    I see, I can't tell why you scored 0 as I wasn't there with you while you had your oefenexamen done.

    But I practised very hard on TGN part. As elaborated in my blog, I repeat my exercise of 800+ sentences until I am familiar with the sentences structure. From there, I moved to the 18 oefentoets. Audio in 18 oefentoets is clear, much more clearer than the audio quality you will hear in the actual exam. The sentences are different than the ones from the 800+ sentences I practised.

    Also one of the many tips from many candidates is that, don't matter about the words in the sentences, instead, memorise the tone and sound you hear and repeat them.

    To be honest, the audio quality during the actual exam was so bad I can barely hear a word. Although I manage to repeat several whole sentences, I depended on repeating according to the sound I heard. Other than that, I rely a lot on Tegenstellingen to support and strengthen my score.

    I suggest that you not to rush yourself to sit for the exam if you feel that you are not prepared. Be sure that you are prepared.

    Cheers
