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 studied academic writing.
Students face difficulties in faculty courses as their reading and writing skills are low.
When required to write a thesis, students may face major difficulties.
25
Academic Advising Team
- SASPIMPORTANCE 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. Students should use this time to focus on improving their English.
26
Academic Advising Team
- SASPHOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE AT
RISK? WHAT ARE THE SIGNS ? You should know the grading system (how
you receive grades) for your course.
Keep a record with your grades on it.
Talk to your teacher about your progress.
Keep track of the percentage you have received, and what percentage you still need to pass.
27

MAKING A STUDY TIMETABLE TO PLAN YOUR STUDY

Include all of your exams and the dates in your timetable.
