KPG English study plan

Diagnose current listening and reading levels with one timed 20-question listening set and one timed 20-question reading set, then log error types in a tracker

Build a daily 15-minute listening habit using short news or lecture clips at natural speed, noting 3 unknown words per clip

Identify the six most common reading question types (main idea, detail, inference, vocabulary-in-context, author's purpose, tone) and label one practice passage per type

Establish a personal vocabulary log template with columns for word, part of speech, context sentence, and synonym

Practice predicting content from the first 10 seconds of a listening passage before answering any question

Drill note-taking shorthand for names, numbers, and dates across 5 short academic talks

Distinguish between similar-sounding word pairs (e.g., thirteen/thirty, can/can't) in 3 targeted dictation exercises

Complete 2 full timed listening sections and review every wrong answer against the audio transcript

Paraphrase 10 spoken statements into written form to connect listening input with reading-style restatement

Apply skimming and scanning to 4 long reading passages under a 12-minute-per-passage limit

Answer inference questions by citing the exact line of text that supports each chosen answer

Reduce average time per reading question to under 75 seconds while keeping accuracy above 70 percent

Complete 2 full-length combined listening and reading mock tests under exam timing

Classify every error from the mocks into one of four causes: vocabulary, speed, trap answer, or misread question

Re-study the 40 highest-frequency words appearing in your error log using spaced repetition across 4 sessions

Write a one-paragraph self-assessment identifying which question types still cost the most time

Review and drill the 12 grammar points most tested in error-correction and sentence-completion items (subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, articles, prepositions, comparatives, conditionals)

Build a 100-item personal vocabulary deck from weeks 1-4 error logs and test recall twice

Write 3 short essays (150-200 words each) using a clear introduction-body-conclusion structure

Self-edit each essay against a checklist covering run-on sentences, pronoun reference, and word form

Complete 40 mixed grammar and vocabulary questions under timed conditions and review each miss with a written rule explanation

Practice paraphrasing 10 sentences to build flexibility for both writing and reading tasks

Write 2 longer essays (250-300 words) that argue a position with at least two supporting examples

Cut filler and repetition from one essay by revising it to 15 percent fewer words without losing meaning

Record 5 one-minute spoken responses to common prompts and transcribe them to spot grammar and fluency gaps

Practice linking ideas with discourse markers and pausing naturally rather than filling silence

Drill pronunciation of 20 commonly mispronounced words and word stress patterns in multi-syllable words

Re-run the 100-item vocabulary deck and retire items answered correctly three times in a row

Take 2 full mock exams covering all five domains under strict timing and no breaks

Review every remaining flagged error and confirm each fix with a written rule or definition

Re-record 2 speaking responses from week 7 and compare against the earlier transcripts

Finalize a one-page exam-day strategy sheet covering time allocation and question-skipping rules
