Armenian Language & Literature Unified Exam study plan

Write out from memory the core spelling rules (է/ե, ո/օ, ու/վ, the treatment of հ and of vowel alternation in word formation), then check each rule against a reference grammar and mark every rule that was misremembered.

Sort a self-made list of 80 frequently misspelled words into their governing rule categories and rewrite each word correctly three times inside an example sentence.

Punctuate ten unpunctuated passages covering dialogue, enumeration, participial and subordinate clauses, then tag every error with the rule it violated.

Recite the comma rules for subordinate clauses, homogeneous parts and direct address, then apply them to 25 fresh sentences without consulting notes.

Build a one-page personal error log ordered by frequency, listing each rule, one counter-example and a one-line fix.

Decline ten nouns across all seven cases in both numbers and verify each form against a reference grammar.

Conjugate twelve verb forms (present, imperfect, past perfect, future, subjunctive, conditional, prohibitive) and mark the stem changes that trigger each ending.

Tabulate pronoun and numeral declension patterns and identify the three patterns that most often confuse you.

Tag every word in a 300-word prose excerpt by part of speech, then re-check the twenty forms you were least sure of.

Convert ten sentences from one tense-mood combination into another and record the morphological transformations involved.

Bracket or tree-diagram fifteen sentences from a classical prose passage, labelling subject, predicate, object and every subordinate clause type.

Write out the agreement rules for subject-predicate, modifier-head and apposition, then apply them to twenty deliberately faulty sentences and correct each one.

Analyse how punctuation encodes syntactic boundaries by re-punctuating three long periodic sentences and justifying each mark in a marginal note.

Construct a one-page timeline of Armenian language periods (Grabar, Middle Armenian, Ashkharhabar, modern standard) with two defining features per period.

Define in your own words ten general linguistics concepts used on the exam (language family, sound change, loanword stratum, diglossia, register) with one Armenian example each.

Build dated timeline cards for twelve works from the 5th to the 18th century, giving author, century, genre and one-line content summary for each.

Summarise in three sentences each the plot or argument of the major 5th-century works (history, hagiography, philosophy) and name their authors without notes.

Memorise six anchor dates and match each to a period, an author and a representative text.

Copy out three short passages from medieval texts and annotate their genre markers, imagery and rhetorical figures.

Explain orally, in two minutes each, why the 5th century and the 12th century are treated as stylistic turning points.

Classify forty idioms and fixed expressions by type (phraseological unit, proverb, collocation) and supply a synonym and a literal gloss for each.

Map word-formation patterns (prefix, suffix, compounding, conversion) across thirty sample words and note which patterns dominate formal written style.

Distinguish ten near-synonym pairs by register and collocation, writing one contrastive sentence for each pair.

Identify and name the tropes and figures (metaphor, metonymy, anaphora, antithesis, hyperbole) in a short lyric poem, marking line numbers.

Write a 300-word stylistic commentary on that poem using at least eight correctly applied terms.

Place ten 19th-century authors on a timeline by decade, tagging each with movement (romanticism, realism, national revival) and one representative work.

Summarise the central thematic conflicts of five canonical 19th-century works in four sentences each, naming protagonist and conflict.

Compare two authors' treatment of the same theme (freedom, homeland, village life) in a two-column chart with quoted support.

Draft a 250-word essay, then revise it once for a clear thesis, topic sentences, textual evidence and a conclusion that answers the prompt.

Punctuate and proofread the revised essay, cutting every sentence that does not advance the thesis.

Timeline fifteen 20th-century and contemporary authors by decade and movement, including diaspora writers, with one work each.

Summarise five representative works in four sentences apiece, identifying narrator, setting and central conflict.

Trace one theme (exile, memory, national identity, war) across three authors and chart the shifts in treatment with quoted lines.

Write a comparative paragraph of 150 words that cites at least two short quotations accurately from memory-checked sources.

Draft and revise a 250-word essay on a 20th-century text, then self-score it against the same five-point rubric used in week 6.

Sit two full timed mock papers under exam conditions and score each section by domain weight.

Re-run every item missed on the mock and on the week 1 error log, rewriting the rule that governs the correct answer.

Write one 300-word essay in 45 minutes on an unseen prompt, then cut it to 260 words without losing the thesis.

Recite from memory the anchor timelines for the language periods and for 5th–20th century literature, filling any gap in ten minutes of review.
