English contest part 1
2012-03-15 @ 13:46:09
So the contest took place yesterday at 10 in the morning. Difficulty was a bit higher than I expected. There were 50 closed questions in which 4 answers were chooseable but only one was correct. 22 questions were mostly about idioms. That was the hardest part. Another 23 questions were about grammar which I liked as it was not too hard. In the end there was short article with 5 questions included which turned out to be the easiest part of the contest.
Today scores were announced. It was possible to get 50 points. I forgot to check how many people participated but it was about 70-80. Only top 10 of them qualified to the final.
I got 2nd place. Comparing to last year it's better score as I had 4th place then and in the final 4th place which let me win really decent headset. I did not expect such score. I was a bit afraid I wouldn't get to the final part because of lack of knowledge yesterday as I didnt now meaning of some words. My score is 36 points which is 72% correct answers. My mate with top score had 41 points. There were few persons that had 35 points so if I had made 2 more mistakes I wouldn't have been so high.
The final will take place in a month. This time it will be about conversation between me and examiner. I hope I'll have some luck while choosing subject of conversation. Last year there were valuable prizes for 1st-4th place. And pendrives, t-shirts, pens etc for 5-10th. This year the main award is tablet. I'll post when I get through.
