When is the BEC exam? What are the procedures?

The introduction to BEC is below, and I will add some of my own experiences.

There is no necessary relationship between Level 6 and bec. It can only be said that from a certain perspective, there will be some connection.

I hope you understand the scores that you need to read even after passing Level 6. .

In terms of details: Bec proctors vary from place to place, and the matching methods of speaking partners will be different even in different test centers in the same city.

Every year, registration at some popular BEC test centers is very stressful. If you want to take the test, be sure to pay attention to this information. Many BEC tutoring classes have test agents, and you can entrust them to help you register. .

Pay attention to the integration of business knowledge and English. The tutoring class recommends that you apply for a major. I don't like New Oriental, which does everything. I feel that I am not good at it. . The class I signed up for only did one project, bec. My teacher is the examiner of BEC and gave us the scope of BEC speaking. . It's not exactly the same, but it's slightly different, basically the same. I still have the test papers here, including listening and speaking. I can sell them to you if you want. Haha~ Bec’s tutoring classes are not cheap. .

If you want, leave a message and I will contact you~

Introduction to BEC

A few tips for the BEC exam

Generally speaking, overseas exams are rigorous and standardized. Circular. Business English writing encourages people to pay attention to format, use clichés, and imitate excellent essays. Therefore, you can still improve your writing in a short period of time. For example, you can read more good essays and memorize some typical sentence patterns. The advanced writing test mainly tests the writing of business letters, investigation reports and proposals, and it is a choice of three. It is recommended that you find some relevant sample essays in the exam books designated by the Cambridge University Examination Committee and study them carefully. You will definitely gain something. A red booklet will be issued when you apply for the exam. Please read the sample essays on it repeatedly, which will be very helpful for the exam.

There are also clichés and many classic sentence patterns in spoken language, so I won’t go into details here.
