Joining an “advanced” class while reading is still B1.
2. Only watching videos
No timed practice → no score gains.
3. Ignoring microphone speaking
Talking alone ≠ test conditions.
4. One mock and done
Plan at least 2–3 mocks on the path.
5. Vague goals
“I want to improve” — set a number and deadline. Vekna assessment suggests both.
