- I will write about my reflections on the mock exam.
- Classifying statements is a problem where the number of each class may not be equal.
- I feel that vocabulary is still a bottleneck.
- Can it be compensated for with techniques?
- I thought I read it carefully, but there were a few points that I missed. I believe that can be corrected with techniques and practice.
- There are problems that ask about vocabulary (choose the word closest to X).
- Even if there are two similar words in the choices, don’t assume that they are not the answer. There may be subtle nuances between them, and those differences may be essential.
- For example, “fundamental” and “essential”.
- There are also mistakes due to simple carelessness. Maybe confirming by pointing can be effective?
- Mistakes in reading sentences or understanding the problem.
- Well, I can’t point on the screen.
- Well, let’s have that mindset.
- There are quite a few problems that require reading indirect information.
- In a problem that asks “Which sentence does the author most agree with?”, it is not always explicit that the author agrees.
- It may be necessary to infer from information like the use of positive adjectives.
- There are problems that ask about the content referred to by demonstratives, and there may be tricks.
- The answer word itself may not be included immediately before.
- For example, if “their” refers to a, b, and c, the answer may be a word that encompasses a, b, and c.
- Not finding the answer word does not mean it is not the answer, so be careful of that.
- In fill-in-the-blank problems, there are cases where the meaning of pronouns (such as “some of them”) is determined by fitting them in. If you don’t notice that, you may not be able to answer.
