First, we were assigned a computer each, with a headset.

After the briefing, we started our


APTIS test. The test took about 3 hours. There are time allocated at each slots but we can
stop to go toilet at each gap. We were given a piece of paper that have our own key code for
each slot. I started with Grammar and Vocabulary test. The grammar tested our grammar
skills on tenses, subject verb agreement, part of speech. While the vocabulary test on
synonym, fill in the blanks with suitable words, contextual clues and so on. There was timing
on screen, I already forgot how long the test, maybe 25 minutes. Secondly was the Listening
test. We have to test our headset first before proceeded to the test page. No timing on the
screen. It was like the CPT test, we have to answer one question on each and we can listen
twice. The last audio can only be heard once and we have to select on 3 answers given.
Thirdly, the reading test. First question I have to arrange the sentences to form a short story.
Second question to fill in the blanks and the answers were given, Third question to identify
the main ideas from each paragraph. Select the answers from the drop down answers. The last
question was using the same text in the third task but now I was given incorrect statements
and then I have to rearrange the incorrect statement according to the right paragraph. I lost
