In English grammar, the correct phrase is "sit for an exam." This is the commonly used expression to indicate that someone is taking an examination or test. So you would say, "I am sitting for my final exam tomorrow" or "She sat for the entrance exam last week."

How do you handle the following four persons if they come to you to learn Spoken English? 1.One who knows that he knows. 2.One who knows that he knows not. 3,One who knows not that he knows. 4.One who knows not that he knows not.
Handling will differ from person to person and its an art. If you do an assessment that's the best way because you can have an idea what that person is and can handle the circumstance well.
