Through politics important questions are answered, and global challenge are addressed – including human rights, poverty, equality, and welfare.

For the competitive examination as well as political knowledge you will need to be interested in a combination of economics, history, geography, philosophy and sociology.

You will need to be aware of who rule in the major international players and what their policies are. Read the international press and learn short definitions of key concepts using specific vocabulary. 

You will also need to use expressions to convey your opinions and points of view in general.  There is a specific format to the examination - practice makes perfect, so practice.  Make sure you manage your time correctly. 

Basic advice  : Limit the damage if you are a borderline student  : Keep your corrected scripts and make a list of your common mistakes to avoid repeating them endlessly. Too often singular nouns are found linked to plural verbs or vice-versa. Articles are used abusively, even if the document provided uses them correctly (eg the Brexit  instead of Brexit). 

Try to push your mark up by raising the level of your English  Avoid 'good' and 'bad' : there are alternative expressions. Use connecting expressions and complex forms. The present perfect conditional and passive voices are expected in higher quality scripts.
