Upper-Intermediate Use of English Test (rephrasing)

Hello there everyone!

Here you can find the upper-intermediate sample test (the corresponding keys and transcriptions will follow in a subsequent post). I've tried to maintain the original document size whenever that was possible, but sometimes I guess it got trickier than I had thought at first. Anyway, give it a go, but -- this is important -- choose the right time to proceed with this. Relax, sit calmly and try to keep your concentration till the end of the exercise. Remember you do not need to do all the exercises at one single time.
