I will appreciate if the people who has scored required grade in this exam, can share their way of preparing for this exam. The information needed is :

- How tough the exam is - especially if someone does not have education from the english medium schools
- What kind of preparation is needed - books etc.
- How much time one should try to devote for this exam
- Is their any good coaching available for this exam in/around Delhi ?

P.S , I believe you posted in wrong theread, It is in Ask an expert,

The exam is not tough at all;
For listening just watch movies n all, just to get hold of slang which they use in their daily life.
For reading, its all up to you. Depends upon how you understand the situation when you read a paragraph. But the easiest thing is to visualise the situation.
For writting, try to be simple and precise. I mean it should be such that any person should understand what you want to convey from it. But dont divert your words from the goal.
For Speaking, they usually ask questions related to your real life and ask you to convey your feelings in english. The best way to score in this topic is to speak whatever happen to you through out the day.

good luck
