There were 2 reading comprehensions, then around 60 multiple choice questions on current affairs, just questions like 'who won the women's US Open?', 'who is the prime minister of Indonesia?', 'Who won a so and so literary prize in 2008?'. Just a really broad variety of stuff from the news, so just reading the newspaper everyday and watching SBS news should be enough. And then we had to write an essay on a current issue. I chose Whaling, which i luckily did in English that year, so its best to go in with some knowledge on one particular issue.
Goodluck, if you get through to the interview stage, i can help you with that too, but i didnt do so well in that area.
