There are 4 main types of Versant test: 1. Versant Speaking Test (Speaking) (around 20 minutes) 2. Versant Professional English Test (Speaking, listening, reading and writing) (around 60 minutes) 3. Versant Writing Test (Writing) (around 35 minutes) 4. Versant English Placement Test (Speaking, listening, reading, and writing) (around 50 minutes) This video is based on number 1 (Versant Speaking Test). If possible, I recommend checking which test you will be taking in advance because each test has different sections. Good luck for your test, and please let me know if you have any other questions.

It is, but practice will make it easier. You can do it!

That's awesome - congratulations!

Absolutely. Someone else said that it sounds like the people in the real test are "from another dimension". It's so true!

I'm glad to hear that! Good luck for your test, and please let me know if you have any questions

You're welcome! Good luck for your test, and please let me know if you have any questions

A lot of people say this is the hardest part. Which is most difficult for you: listening to the story, or retelling it?

@English_Coach_Mark retelling the story with different way is not easy to me. I should remember the story line and express it in my own words. While I was arranging my words, I lost my points of the previous story line.

That makes sense. It's difficult to remember everything and think about how to express it in English at the same time. Here are some things you can do to make this section a little easier: Focus on the basic information. 1. The person's name 2. Their action (what did they do?) 3. The ending When giving your answer, divide your answer into three parts. 1. Introduction 2. Body 3. Conclusion For each part, there are fixed phrases you can use. For example: 1. Introduction - "The story was about (a man trying a new hobby)" 2. Body - "First (he tried reading), then (he went skiing), and finally (he tried rock climbing)" 3. Conclusion - "In the end, (he decided that rock climbing was the most fun.)" Remembering these fixed phrases makes it easier to structure your answer, meaning that you can focus on remembering the details from the story. I hope that helps! Good luck with your practice, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Are you doing any shadowing practice? It can be very helpful when working on pronunciation.

You're welcome. Please let me know if you have any questions

Glad to help! Good luck for your test

Thanks! Please let me know if you have any questions

Happy to help! Good luck with your test!

@@English_Coach_Mark I think I nailed it but your tests were the secret ingredient. I'd been lost without them. Thanks again!

Which parts are unclear?

Amen

Happy to help! Good luck for your test

Which part of the test would you like help with?

Sorry, I don't have a phone number, but I'll be happy to help you if I can. What kind of help do you need?

The questions will be different every time. However, the questions will follow the same format. That's why it's a good idea to do as many practice exercises as possible. Being familiar with the flow of the test can be a big help.

should you be speaking until the time end,even you repeat the words

@@mayzie9743 Not if you have already finished your answer. You can add additional information to your answer if you have spare time, but make sure it is relevant. If you add irrelevant details or repeat yourself unnecessarily it may negatively affect your score.

If your test is only for speaking and listening, it will be like this. However, some Versant tests also focus on writing, and have different sections. There are 5 main types of Versant test (this video is an example of number 1): 1. Versant Speaking Test (around 20 Minutes) reading repeat questions sentence builds story retelling open questions 2. Versant Professional English Test (around 60 minutes) sentence completion passage reconstruction reading comprehension E-mail writing dictation response selection passage comprehension repeat speaking situation story retelling 3. Versant Writing Test (around 35 minutes) Typing Sentence completion Dictation passage reconstruction E-mail writing 4. Versant English Placement Test (around 50 minutes) read aloud repeat sentence builds conversations typing sentence completion dictation passage reconstruction summary & opinion 5. Versant 4 skills test (Approx 30 minutes) Repeat Sentence builds Conversations Sentence completion Dictation Passage reconstruction I recommend checking which test you will be taking in advance, to help you prepare most effectively. Good luck for your test!

Which part is most difficult for you?

In the repeat section, I've been watching your videos to improve my versant, share more tips to versant

@abhisheksen5754 I recommend doing more shadowing to improve your score in the repeat section. Search "Shadowing American accent" on TH-cam. You will find videos to use for practice. Good luck for your next test!

@@English_Coach_Mark okay thank you sir

Haha this is a very accurate comment

What do you mean with that? That It is too easy?

That's OK - it's not a very common phrase. Were you able to catch it after seeing the subtitles?

@@English_Coach_Mark Yes. I understood when I saw the subtitles.

This would also be true for 99% of native English speakers. It's weird - adjective order is something we know, but we don't know we know it.

In this example, "rectangular" describes the shape of the door.

That's great to hear - I hope it helps your son. Good luck with the teaching!

Thanks for your question. The first step to apply is to contact the Pearson customer services team at the following link: help.english.com/contact_support.htm When you contact them, tell them which test you would like to apply for, and the country you are in. They will provide you with instructions about what to do next. I hope that helps. Good luck with your test!

Wow - thanks haha I'm from England. How about you?

@@English_Coach_Mark Oh nice! I am from Honduras!!

I'm English, how about you?

I'm glad it helped! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Glad to help. Little things like this can add up and make a big difference to your score. Good luck for your test!

Thanks!

Hi Hemant, thanks for your question. "Shadowing" is a good place to start. Shadowing is where we listen to a sentence, and then repeat it. When we repeat it, we try to copy the speed and pronunciation as closely as possible. This is a great way to start improving your speaking skills. Here's a video with some example exercises to show you how it works: th-cam.com/video/64IX-VSOhrY/w-d-xo.html
