Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid, for Getting a higher score in NAATI CCL (Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Telugu) Exam?
NAATI CCL Test clearly mentions the mistakes made by the students when they give the results. Below are the points to take care of when doing the preparation.
1. Omitting information
Omitting information means missing any content that is in the dialogue, such as a word or a phase. These words or phrases can be important and provide the actual context to the dialogue. This can deduct the marks based on the words missed. To avoid such mistakes, it’s important to practice and take at least two mocks before the exam.

2. Addition of information
Omitting information is a common error many students make, also it is common that candidates also often include additional information which is not there in the dialogue. This means adding information that is not there in the dialogue. This could alter the meaning of the segment and will result in the deduction of marks. To avoid this, note-taking must be done properly.
3. Distortion of information
Distortion of information means altering the meaning of the dialogue. This mistake can happen when candidates confuse themselves between two words that could be similar sounding or have similar spellings, but the meaning changes based on the context it is used. Students can avoid this mistake by making sure that the meaning of the segment is understood and also having good vocabulary knowledge.
4. Lack of accuracy
Accuracy is very important in this exam. Lack of accuracy means the candidate is not sure of the segment in the dialogue or the dialogue as a whole. Candidates usually commit this error when candidates do not understand the context and the dialogue itself due to which the translation itself is wrong. Sometimes students do not hear a particular segment properly, this may lead to incorrect interpretation and translation.
5. The too-literal interpretation of information
