Final ICFES Simulation
Focus: Integrated reading and argumentation assessment
Integrate thesis, argument, counterargument, vocabulary and connector skills in a final simulation.
Study each word, read the Spanish support and school example, then press the speaker to hear the English pronunciation. In pairs, choose four words and create four new school sentences.
Final test strategy
Use the same strategy for every question: ANALYZE what skill is tested, find EVIDENCE, DECIDE between options, CHECK the choice, and REFLECT on mistakes after the test.
Do not answer from memory; return to the text.
Explain why the correct option works.
Use mistakes to define your next learning goal.
Before listening: Read the question and predict three words you may hear.
Listening question: What should you do after identifying the skill tested?
Each dialogue is separated in its own Bootstrap card. Listen first, perform it with your group, then change one idea so the conversation becomes connected to your own school experience.
Team task
- Student A explains the main concept in simple English.
- Student B finds one example, connector or piece of evidence.
- Student C asks a follow-up question and reports the group answer.
- Rotate roles. Every student must speak before one student speaks twice.
Build, Swap & Improve
Create three statements on the computer: one main position, one supporting reason/evidence and one counterargument or limitation. Swap with another pair/trio. The new group identifies each part and improves one sentence.
