  15. What Will Happen In Level 3English? • If you pass Level 3, you can take the IELTS exam. • If you fail the IELTS, you can take Level 4 one time. Academic Advising Team - SASP

  16. Issues Students Face If They Take the IELTS Exam Before Completing Level 2 • Students who take IELTS before passing Level 2 usually fail ESP the first time because they haven’t learned about academic writing. • They face difficulties in faculty courses as their reading and writing skills are low. • When required to write a thesis, they may face major difficulties. Academic Advising Team - SASP

  17. Importance Of Concentration On English • It will be easier to understand your lectures. • If you take many subjects, you will be too busy to concentrate on English (take only English and Arabic – no other subjects). • Level 1 and 2 is the time to improve your English! Academic Advising Team - SASP

  18. How Do You Know If You Are At Risk? What Are The Signs ? • You should know the evaluation system (how you receive marks) for your course. • Keep a table with your marks/grades in it. • Talk to your teacher about how you’re doing. • Keep track of the percentage you have received, and how much you still need for a passing mark. Academic Advising Team - SASP

  19. Making a Study Timetable To Plan Your Study • Think about available time for study. • Avoid studying the night before the exam. • Include all of your exams and the dates in your timetable. • Plan your study time around your exams. Academic Advising Team - SASP
