Words to stress correctly
| university | u·ni·VER·si·ty | /junəˈvɝsəti/ |
| regulations | re·gu·LA·tions | /rɛɡjəˈleɪʃənz/ |
| electronic | e·lec·TRON·ic | /ɪlɛkˈtrɑnɪk/ |
| available | a·VAIL·a·ble | /əˈveɪləbəl/ |
| accordance | ac·COR·dance | /əˈkɔrdəns/ |

49 words, aim 19–22 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after thesis, form, public and copied; take short pauses at the commas.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress u·ni·VER·si·ty, e·lec·TRON·ic and re·gu·LA·tions on the third syllable, and sub·MIT·ted, a·VAIL·a·ble, ac·COR·dance on the second. Keep the -ed in expected, submitted, consulted, borrowed, copied and the -s in regulations. Don't hesitate before electronic.
General tip: the first sentence is long; keep a steady pace and let your voice fall only at public, not earlier.
