I passed the test regardless that outside of Finnish lessons i've never written so much as a text message in Finnish and had next to no conversations in real life in Finnish. You can study the types of questions used in the test and prepare skeleton answers which can make up 50% of what you write. Another 20% of your answer is the question itself re-arranged. Leaving you with 30% of actual work. You can really "study for the test" and pass even though your general skills in Finnish are not that good.
Interesting. Would you say that you understood most of the recordings? Thanks for the comment!
@@learnfinnishwithfinkingcap In the listening part of the test I understood enough to pass at level 3 which is enough for citizenship. There is a real technique to the listening part of the exam also - to be reading the questions before the talking starts and always be one step ahead of what you're actually being told to do.
