Too often written is the attention in written exams paid to unnatural skills, I think. I don't like any exams and have never liked. And I am pretty bad in them. That's why I haven't even tried any English exam; I thought: "Should I spend so much time on learning how to pass an exam? I prefer to spend this time on learning English!"
I am not saying exams are totally unnatural, but... see above. What's more, I suppose all would agree with me that learning for a particular exam is specific and that there are better ways to improve the knowledge of English than learning to any exam.
