Well you can read the internet, and gain some insight to things like reading stories and other english literature so that you may be capable of writing two words together that will make some sense...
If you havent been listening and reading your english by now, a few days will not make you a literary scholar! You should have listen to your lessons and boned up on all the english that you are being tested for.
Reread all your english books and lessons and notes that you have taken through out the year.
I wish you well..

There is an old expression that reads you can judge a mans character by the company he keeps and the books he reads .
A more literal translation is, if you only read comics and poor literature that will be the extent of you vocabulary knowledge if you socialise with people of the same that will be the limit of your spoken knowledge.
To improve one's language skills you merely have to read literature and practice.

listen carefully and concentrate when native speakers talk ..listen to songs and read lots of magazines and books in the language you wanna improve. to be honest it takes time and whoever tells you that you can learn a language in a week or so is just a LIAR and a dreamer because acquiring a language cannot be achieved over the night so be patient and you would get the best results :)
first step, listen& listen & listen..babies "listen" for more than a year then start speaking themsleves :)
so act like a baby if you want to learn some language and don't forget to "mimic" native speakers as hard as you can so you can acquire their accents as well ..
best of luck X ;)

READ!!!! Pick up a book and read. Try harry potter, Eragon, Eldest. These are really good books. Personally I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter novels. Another thing would be to have your parents purchase a set of vocab flash card. Try getting ones that are advanced for your age! This will put you ahead of fellow students.

Look over all your notes and books from your language class. Make flash cards for words/vocabulary. Review the grammar section(s) that you have available. Read the book(s) if you were required to do so.

i think you should read a lot of books.reading aloud will help you to improve your english and you will learn more about the vocabulary.read anything you get and if you encouter difficult words, underline them, check the meaning in the dictionary and write the meaning in a copybook.in this way you will get a copybook full of difficult words and their meaning which will be easy to learn.ok?
best of luck for your exams.
