    Yeaaaah!!!! I passed my exam!!!

    I was tearing/crying when i announce my result to my fiance. I am so happy and super relief that i dont have to retake the exam!!! Thank you so much for everyone that have been sharing your tips and the supports that you all gave! It healped me soo much!

    My scores are:

    KNS: 100/100
    TNG: 49/80
    GBL: 30/35

    There are few things that i want to mentioned is that:

    KNS:
    1. Audio is clear and pace is good. It is the esiest to score full mark for this.
    2. When they asked the prince and princess part, I answered: "koningin maxima en koning willem alexander". And they count that the correct answer.

    TGN:
    1. They have changed the audio for Nazeggen (according from the lady who witness my exam), it is now clearer and slower pace. (I think i really nailed this part).
    2. But for Korte Vragen (Short Q & A), the audio are very blur and very fast. I was pretty confidents for this part before the exam, but i wasn't so sure anymore after I heard the audio. I have few questions that i couldn't answer cos the audio is just too blurry and too fast.
    3. Nazeggen sentences are not as long as i expected to be, just try to mimic the sentences and at least you say something. (This is what the lady told me)
    4. All the the Tegenstellingen (Antonyms) that i studied did not came out, so i guess half of the words they mentioned i didnt know the answer. I guess i score more on the Nazeggen the most.

    PS: the practise text sample that I did for Nazeggen have the longer sentences, the real exam's sentences are shorter.

    GBL:
    1. I am better in reading out when i have reading material, so I did better for this part. Once you master the reading and pronunciation, you most likely can pass this part.
    2. But the time frame they've given you to read it out loud is too short i feel.
    3. I didnt finish reading one of the short story, but as long as your pronunciation in general is good, you shouldn't worry too much if you can't finish last sentence of the short story.
    4. I used this link ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LcHFBOGBRQ&index=2&l
    ist=PLWhCKJMBwNySSo_sKewYPdBjssffNgMLs ) to practice my time management for GBL, and its really a good gauge for the real exam.
    5. I accidentally took the exam paper out, but i didnt realised! Otherwise i could share it with you all!
    6. For me, I think the selecting the correct answer and the answering question for the short stories is a bit challenging for me.
    a. The time given you to think for the correct answer is short, and i remember i almost forgot to speak out the answer, but mark on the paper for my answer during the exam.
    b. They given you the time to read the short stories, but not enough time to answer the questions.

    I want to thank @Genevieve for given us all the practise materials. I have the Naar Nederland study material, but i didnt finish the whole book. I shift to the study materials that G shared and focus on the parts that I wasn't confidents at all. I have been start studying since February, but only in full force mood in July. If you can, recored the sounds when u do the practise test, and play it again to hear if you are good and improve from there.

    Hope this help and thank you (especially Genevieve, Evelyn Macmor, Van V and Meirav!) again for all the support and help!

    I hope to meet you girls when I'm in Holland!
