Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Answer the question directly and separate your ideas into clear sentences. Correct the unclear expressions and pronunciation-related wording, such as “Englishology” to “English” or “English studies,” and “terrorist concepts” to “theoretical concepts” if that is your intended meaning. Use a linking word such as “For example” before giving a specific detail. Keep the answer to two or three well-organised sentences.
Example: Yes, I would say I have a fairly good memory, especially when I am interested in the subject. For example, because I study English, I often need to memorise theoretical concepts and researchers’ names. I usually remember them better when I review them several times.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Use the past tense accurately and state the event clearly. “Finally, I want forgot” is incorrect; say “I once forgot.” Also, use “I was busy studying” rather than “it was busy studying,” and connect the reason with “because.” Add the result or lesson to make the answer more specific and complete.
Example: Yes, I once forgot an important assessment deadline because I was busy studying for several subjects at the same time. As a result, I had to finish the assignment very quickly and felt extremely stressed. Since then, I have used a calendar to keep track of my deadlines.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Use “daily life,” not “early life,” and make the list grammatically consistent: “my class schedule, assignment deadlines and study plans.” Replace unclear wording such as “rig and repair” with the intended expression, possibly “read and prepare.” Organise the answer with a topic sentence followed by a specific explanation of your psychology-related tasks.
Example: In my daily life, I need to remember quite a few things, especially my class schedule, assignment deadlines and study plans. Since I am studying psychology, I also have to keep track of the articles I need to read and the preparation required for each class. I usually check my schedule every morning so that I do not miss anything important.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: Give two clear methods and explain how they help you. Correct “sensory masks” to “set reminders” and replace unclear phrases such as “file at my mouth” with “file my notes” or “review them aloud,” depending on your intended meaning. Use natural grammar: “help me organise information and remember it more easily.”
Example: I usually write important things down or set reminders on my phone. For my studies, I make short notes and review them aloud because this helps me organise information and remember it more easily. I also use colour-coded folders to find my notes quickly.
× Yes, I would say I have a fairly good memory, especially when it comes to things I'm interested in I'm studying Englishology I often have to remember terrorist kincepts and research names.
✓ Yes, I would say I have a fairly good memory, especially when it comes to things I'm interested in. I'm studying Englishology, so I often have to remember terrorist kincepts and research names.
The original response contains several independent clauses joined without appropriate punctuation or a conjunction. Use a full stop to separate complete sentences and so to show the relationship between them.
× Yes, finally, I want forgot an important assessment deadline because it was busy studying for several subjects at the same time.
✓ Yes, once, I forgot an important assessment deadline because I was busy studying for several subjects at the same time.
The question asks whether something happened in the past, so use the simple past forgot. The phrase want forgot is incorrect. Also, was busy is needed to describe the student's past situation.
× Yes, finally, I want forgot an important assessment deadline because it was busy studying for several subjects at the same time.
✓ Yes, once, I forgot an important assessment deadline because I was busy studying for several subjects at the same time.
The pronoun it incorrectly refers to the student. Use the subject pronoun I because the student was the person who was busy studying.
× In my early life I need to remember quite a few things, especially my class, schedule assignments datelines and study plans.
✓ In my daily life, I need to remember quite a few things, especially my class schedules, assignments, deadlines, and study plans.
Several items are being listed, so the countable noun schedule should be plural: schedules. Commas and and are also needed to separate the items in the list. The phrase daily life fits the examiner's question more naturally.
× In my early life I need to remember quite a few things, especially my class, schedule assignments datelines and study plans.
✓ In my daily life, I need to remember quite a few things, especially my class schedules, assignments, deadlines, and study plans.
A comma is needed after the introductory phrase In my daily life. The list also requires commas between its items and and before the final item so that the sentence is clearly structured.
× Since I'm studying psychology I also have to keep track of what I need to rig and repair for each class.
✓ Since I'm studying psychology, I also have to keep track of what I need to rig and repair for each class.
The prepositional phrase Since I'm studying psychology introduces the reason for the statement. A comma should follow this introductory clause to separate it from the main clause.
× For my studies, I often make short notes and file at my mouth because they help me organise information and remember it's more easy.
✓ For my studies, I often make short notes and file at my mouth because they help me organise information and remember it more easily.
Easily is an adverb and is needed to describe how the information is remembered. The pronoun it refers to information, whereas it's means it is and is incorrect in this sentence.
