A warning for those who wants to do ACTFL tests with LTI

[tak916]

Thanks for sharing your experience and I really hope you can still do the writing test since you spent the money. Did you feel the OPIc exam was easy the way it felt easy for me?

Can't wait to know your OPIc score! In my experience, the reading exam was hard. They show you test excerpts of some really obscure science journal text that even the average college educated native speaker will struggle reading because it has tons of unusual words that aren’t in common language use. I only scored an upper middle despite in every way being a C1 in the language. I don't have experience with the listening exam.

Since I think I might get a advanced or superior score in OPIc I'll just skip the writing, I'm native in Mandarin but the toughest level was not that easy to get full score for even a native speaker, it asks questions to let you give insights into up-to-date social problems which is good, but some questions are a little bit complex and some are not that suitable for Chinese people to answer due to our censorship, it would be ideal to get 12 creds but if not I'll be happy to take 6 creds away.
