Now CSAT the portal to 2011 college entrance is not more than 50 days away.
The two sessions of sham exams that provided experience on CSAT difficulty
level and question trend etc came to an end, and CSAT questions are already
drawn 70% in association with EBS CSAT lecture.
It is now more important than anything else for the examinees that were
absorbed to the planning of CSAT early this year to arrange the study that
they have been doing so far in an organized manner. The key is to set up
CSAT strategy for ‘Wrap-up Study’. It is high time to gather the
concentration power and conditions to demonstrate the potential properly
until CSAT let alone to establish study strategy to raise score.
Let’s set up strategy for the wrap-up of real-like study with representative
Yu Hwang-Wu a language essay expert to prepare for college scholastic ability
test(CSAT) through perfect wrap-up for the period of one month and a half!
☞ Wrap up with emphasis on real-like problems through perfect arrangement
of concepts
One of the methods for effective utilization of CSAT study done so far
in actual test is to solve real-like problems repeatedly. The sham exam
problems by Curriculum and Evaluation Institute are simply a requisite.
Since they reflect the 2011 CSAT question styles, they cannot be missed out.
Let’s check them out multiple times.
Also, be sure to solve sample questions from previous tests of minimum 3 to
4 years ago. Avoid half-learned study style that simply identifies question
style and answers, but detailed checking and arranging of question intention
and solving method are more important than anything else.
Of course, the concept of each style for problem solving should be firmly
grasped in this opportunity. Unless concept is established, you may be at
a loss when facing unaccustomed question. Do NOT forget that questions that
can be solved through memorizing and application of textbook concept despite
different question style are being given, and such thinking power oriented
tests are the foundation of college scholastic ability test(CSAT).
☞ As for weak area, attack the parts scoring potential intensively
When it comes to parts on which you can win score actually with a little more
study, master them firmly in this period. The period is not a sufficient
length of time to check the entire scope of CSAT, and thus attack the parts
that you can make success about in real test with reasonable invest of time.
Studying from the beginning blindly out of anxiety is a waste of time. Make
intensive attack only on parts that you can win score about.
And one more thing to add. Do not stress one section alone, but separate study
hours by the sections to maximize study efficiency. Never assume to yourself
in a manner like ‘I gave up this subject; it is no use studying it’.
There ought to be at least one unit of the subject that you are confident
with no matter how vulnerable the subject is. As aforementioned, it is
necessary to attack the parts that can connect to score than completely
give up, and assign hours properly to all the subjects.
☞ Wrap up language section and math section this way
First off, the range of language section is extensive beyond the contents of
particular grade or textbook, so it may be beyond your strength to check
all the literature works. Recommendation is to get accustomed to the works
listed in EBS textbooks in advance, cultivate your capability to approach
unfamiliar texts naturally, and arrange literatures based on the works you
have been studying.
When solving questions of language section, they mostly see the text first,
and you can save a little time by leafing through the questions and then
reading through the text. In particular, since language section is organized
in a fashion to solve questions by reading text, pay attention to assignment
of time to suit question style.
In case of math section, the rate of question association with EBS is a little
higher than other section, so study with detailed attention to EBS textbook
and lecture. Solve as many questions of similar style, and you are likely to
become accustomed as much. What you need to take note of is put aside too
easy workbook now. Since September sham exam presented questions with
difficulty, one way of studying is to learn concepts while challenging high
difficulty questions.
Let’s not forget that math section is not a section that requires thinking
power and creativity rather than simple memorizing. That means firm
understanding of basic concepts is important. It is necessary to solve
real-like questions like previously presented questions and shall exam
questions etc after concept arrangement each day, and grow the sense of
problem solving from now on.
☞ Prepare for foreign language through training of reading and listening
to diverse texts to meet the characteristics of social study and science
The first gateway to foreign language section questions is listening and
speaking. If high concentration power can be demonstrated from here, you may
be able to keep your pace in comprehension etc without mistake. To that end,
let’s prepare for actual test through training on listening every day.
See texts of various materials like English newspapers or materials on
current events. Above all, understanding of the contents should come first.
The method of solving questions by reading only part or key of the text is
like doing a dangerous risk. Repetitive study of the styles on which you
get particularly incorrect is also what you should do for the period of
one month or so.
For the wrap-up of social study section, problem solving is a requisite.
Since the tests tend to present questions that connect the contents of
mutually different units oftentimes, let’s wrap up textbook concepts with
that in mind, and learn various question styles through EBS textbook and
previously presented questions. As for science study which is made up mostly
of questions using graphic data etc, let’s graft new concepts rather than
studying general materials and focus on identifying transformed data. Also
in this section, learn the flow or problem types while solving many questions.
