Am I right ???
To me, your prime focus should be the 3 major questions worth 62 marks - precis, comprehension and expansion. If you have command over these 3, expansion in particular, it is going to benefit you in every single paper.
In addition you can cover Direct, Indirect (read rules from some good grammar book), sentence Corrections (Solved Past papers) and Pair of words (Past papers plus Grammar Book or some other resource you have). Memorizing idioms and vocabulary does not make sense to me, as I have seen people cramming 2500-3000 idioms with the result that not a single of those was asked in the exam. Whether you are able to interpret the meaning of the idiom or the vocabulary (MCQs part) is a function of your English reading since school. I consider the time spent on memorizing meanings of idioms and vocab as time wasted. As of expansion, ONLY if your English grammar is flawless and you don't make spelling, tenses or punctuation mistakes, you should go ahead with writing 1 page articles. Get them checked by some good English teacher who can mark it for you and rectify grammar mistakes, if any. When you get the green signal, move ahead to writing expansions. One expansion, one comprehension, and one precis, per week , should do the job. Regards: |

Craming words is, unequivocally, not the panacea. But, using verbose english in css examination is, surely, an asset for the candidate.
The only way to memorise words, is to read. Try to read more and jot down the difficult worlds you confront on daily basis. It would be more pertinent if you read Dawn editorial on daily basis. It won't only help you to enhance your vocabulary but your general knowledge as well.

Brother, if you manage to get at least 10 in the vocabulary portion, imagine how easy it would become to pass the paper.
I tried to memorize some words from gre vocabulary, around 2000, and fortunately, i could answer about 14 to 15 of the synonyms and antonyms in ce-14. It hardly takes half an hour a day. |
