- Waiting too long to plan the next level, which leads to loss of momentum and forgotten concepts
- Not requesting duplicate certificates or extra copies, which are often needed for universities, employers, or visa applications
- Ignoring the CEFR reference, missing out on global recognition for your language level
- Delaying preparation for the next attempt, especially if you plan to reappear
