Further supplements are also welcome. Please knowledgeable classmates to add. Due to limited level, the above is what I have thought of so far. In the future, if there are insights, mistakes and omissions are inevitable, please forgive me. For unclear parts, please refer to the CENTENNIA L website or call for consultation. The tedious process of finding the website yourself is also a process of learning English and understanding English thinking. Because I am busy, if I don't have time to answer your questions, please understand. Wishing everyone a good score!
1. Purpose of this article and applicable audience: Introduce my superficial experience for those who intend to return to College and later non-elite immigrants as reference. For those who have passed the TOEFL exam or do not need to return to school, they might find it laughable. It has little reference value for international students.
2. Requirements for this article description: Absolutely clear and unambiguous to avoid any misunderstanding.
3. My test-taking identity: Adult immigrant.
4. My applied major: FASTCHA CK Financial Services and Accounting shows that I need to take business mathematics, engineering mathematics, and English. When booking the exam,
5. School required examination subjects: After registering on the CENTENNIA L website with student ID. There is a line of text explaining that if you want to take more than two types of math exams, choose engineering math or × science math. Today, I received a second letter saying that I need to take Math skill assess and math skill or co-ordin approv 2445. Here, I criticize CENTENNIA L for not clearly stating which type of math exam an immigrant new to the school needs to take. Why are the subject names displayed on the website inconsistent with those in the letter? This creates information confusion and wastes the candidates' time for guesswork. Please tell me clearly if you know, thank you in advance.
Thursday morning, I called the examination center.
6. Registration Process: This Thursday evening, I registered through the Centenni website. Before that, I saw online that calling to book was enough. When they learned that I did not have a CENTENNIA L student ID, they suggested I call again next week to book, but did not explain the reason. Later, I guessed it was waiting for my student ID. After returning home in the afternoon, I received a letter from CENTENNIA L informing me that I had applied for the school's major on Monday and assigned me a student ID. Since I just applied to ONTA RIOCOLLEGE on Sunday, I registered on the school website with my ID and registered online in the evening. If you booked by phone, you wouldn't know whether the staff would be patient enough to explain and whether your English communication skills were up to the task. Try to register for as many subjects as possible at once. Stupidly, I booked the English exam in the morning from 9:30~12:00 and the engineering math exam from 10:30~12:00. At the time, I thought the questions were relatively simple.
7. Number of subjects to register: You can only choose one subject per morning or afternoon. The website suggested saving travel time.
I finished the English exam at 11:00, then rushed to take the math exam. Last night, after LP found out, he strongly advised me to cancel the math reservation, saying I couldn't finish both subjects according to my plan. Afterwards, it turned out that LP's suggestion was extremely wise and accurate, for which I express my heartfelt gratitude.
But like the English exam I took today,
8. Exam duration: No time limit.
After 12:30, almost everyone left. There were contradictions on the website about the exam time: it said no time limit when introducing the exam format, but when registering, it said 9:30~12:00. Following a straightforward mindset, I was confused. Later, I consulted the female invigilator teacher, who told me there was no time limit for the exam, and I could continue until the afternoon. Actually, starting from 9:30, by 12:30, due to not being able to drink water, use the restroom, or leave the seat halfway, my physical and mental strength was almost depleted. Today, I set a record: the last person to enter the exam room (10 minutes late) and the last person to leave: at one o'clock.
You can print out your written scores immediately after the exam.
9. Exam format: Computer-based with headphones provided.
One question asks how many years you have been studying English. Initially, I thought from junior high school onwards, over ten years. Later, the teacher asked, "One subject or all subjects?" I answered one subject, and she replied "NOT COUNT", meaning less than one year; another question asks how many years you have been hearing and speaking English in Canada. I answered the immigration time, but actually should have answered the cumulative work or study time spent hearing and speaking English. Additionally, bring the code for your applied major. I forgot, so after receiving the results, I didn't know if I met the admission requirements.
Reading comprehension: 20 questions. Detailed content of the listening section: 20 scenarios involving learning, classrooms, work, and daily life, with male-female dialogues and professor instructions to students, followed by questions based on the dialogue content: What topic is being discussed? Or what suggestion does the male or female give to the other? Or what problem does the male or female encounter? Or what does the professor require the students to do? I mistakenly thought the content was similar to parts two and three of the TOEIC exam. Previously, I listened several times to Part 2 content asking WHAT/WHO/WHEN/WHERE/HOW. The answers I gave were completely unrelated. If I could have targeted practice a few times, my score might have improved. Comparing the content to IBT (new TOEFL), the listening part A.
11. English exam content: Listening comprehension: 20 questions. As for TOEIC and Cambridge English, please interested students compare them on their own. Detailed content of reading comprehension: Two types of questions: RELATIVE logical relationship between two sentences and STA TE and INFERENCE logical reasoning of a short paragraph. In terms of length, the former consists of two sentences totaling around 30-40 words, while the latter ranges from approximately 40 to 100 words. In terms of difficulty, the former is simpler, understandable after one read, whereas the latter's difficulty compares to IBT, with broad topics, complex sentence structures, and long sentences. Due to different topics for each question, I feel it is harder than IBT. In terms of quantity, the former accounts for about 6 questions, and the latter about 14 questions. Other supplements needed cannot be empirically verified as identical for each examinee, but theoretically, for fairness, justice, and comparability, the difficulty should be more than 95% equal.
Each part can and at most can be listened to three times. Each question automatically plays once in three parts. If you're unsure,
12. Listening test tips: Listening questions are divided into three parts: dialogue/speech, questions, and options. Follow along and listen to the questions once, then read and listen to the options twice, listen to the questions again, and finally listen to the dialogue twice.
The latter determines your English level after enrollment. But my score clearly states: this score is for admission reference,
13. Purpose of the exam result: I previously heard about entrance exams and PLA CEMENT exams. The decision lies with ENROLMENT SERVICE based on my chosen major, and also PLACEMENT BASED UPON RESULTS, meaning no further PLA CEMENT exam is required. Of course, you may choose to retake the exam, which might be allowed. Listening 78 Reading 64 PLACEMENT 161 If admitted, COMMUNICA TIONS 1 must be taken in the first semester, and COMMUNICA TIONS 2 in the second semester. Referencing IBT, Cambridge, and New TOEIC relevant departments can all be used; however, the vocabulary and sentence complexity in reading,
14. Preparation strategies: Listening is relatively simple. Referencing IBT.
Although I haven't attended other schools' exams yet,
15. Comparison of exam difficulty with other schools: I've heard many students say CENTENNIA L is easy. However, I believe that although CENTENNIA L lacks writing, its reading difficulty exceeds SENECA's reading sample questions. Overall, the differences between schools should be minimal. Most importantly, students planning to take CENTENNIA L should not be complacent and eliminate the impression of easy exams. The day before, I still thought it was easy, so I registered for two subjects in the morning.
