elimdeki soru örnekleri 2012 yılı öncesine ait örnek sorularmış. 2012 yılı ve daha sonrası soru tipleri kpds ve üds formatında olmaya başlamış. hatta 2012 yılında yapılan bir sınavda 132 kişiden 8 kişi geçmiş. kısacası kpds formatına çalışılması lazım.
beni tenkit eden arkadaşlar. burada o kadar üye olan arkadaşlar var. genel ingilizce sınavına giren o kadar arkadaş var. biride çıkıp yaaa soruların şekli şemali bu dese. yok. ilk girecek arkadaşlar nasıl çalışacağını bilmiyor. KPDS diyip işin içinden çıkıyorlar. KPDS gibiyse vay halimize. Ben hala inanmıyorum KPDS kadar zor olacağını ama girenler o kdar zor diyor ama bir kaç örnek zoru söylemiyor. bendeki sorular normal gramer sorular ama genel ingilizce sınavında uzun zun paragraf soruları soruluyormuş. kısacası bendekiler bir işimize yaramaz.
TEKRAR SÖYLÜYORUM. Genel İngilizce Sınavlarına giren arkadaşlar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
