Hi,

Just be confident! here are some tips...

for the summary, make sure you include all of the points that the question asks you [usually 6 points] and always rephrase it [write in your own words] . for the article/essay w/e just make a quick 3 minute plan of what you intend to write.

There's usually an application that you have to fill, read the instruction carefully because they're not the same on every part.

Best of luck :)

general tip:
 1 of the very important thing that take care of ur handwriting and neatness and if the place was not enough for u ....u can write in the blank papers at the back but don't forget to make a note with that and to write the page number is the most impotant thing bt try not to use them and take care of the word account ...
wish u the best of luck.... ;D
