I had written similar post on my experience on taking the WPLN assessment last year January 2018 but had lost the post as I stopped my service with wordpress and move to blogspot this year. This post is to highlight my experience when I went for the assessment so as to help all of you be mentally prepared.
There are five assessment to take for the WPLN assessment. They are Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing and Numeracy. After arriving at the centre, you will be sent to a room for a short briefing. Most of the test are MCQ - Multiple Choice Questions except for speaking and writing.
Please remember to wait for the "BEEP" sound before you proceed to answer any questions. Make use of the paper provided and use repeat so you have more time to double check and calm yourself during the assessment. Be prepared that it is quite noisy as people are talking here and there because they are attempting the Speaking test.
Reading
I cannot remember this part of the assessment.
Listening
This part is more of a listen and answer type of questions. Nothing much to advise. A trick is to repeat the questions so you have more time to double check on your answers.
Speaking
My killer section. This part is break up into 2 parts. First part is where a picture is shown to you and you start to explain what you see. A trick I learnt in primary school is to start explaining from top left and continue in an clockwise direction. Part 2 where they ask you to debate on a question. This is a good time to write down important details that you want to talk on the pieces of paper provided before attempting. Be sure to check on the volume and do a mike test so you can hear yourself clearly if not all will be in vain.
Writing
Straight forward composition type assessment. Take note of spacing and have paragraphs for easier marking for the assessor.
Numeracy
This is actually quite daunting. Question such as fraction, time, conversion and division came out. Be sure to study them if you forgotten about it.
Hope it helps.
