Korean CSAT English study plan

Diagnose current listening accuracy by completing one full 25-question 듣기 set under timed conditions and logging errors by item type (picture/response/dialogue/monologue).

Build a personal error taxonomy covering the 5 most frequent causes (e.g., numbers, inference, paraphrase, function expressions, fast speech) and tag every wrong answer to one category.

Master the 12 most common functional expressions for agreement, refusal, and suggestion by writing one original example sentence for each and self-recording it.

Set a baseline score per listening item type so weekly improvement can be measured.

Train number, time, and price calculation by solving 30 original short-dialogue items and re-listening to each until the figure is captured on first pass.

Practice predicting the next line in 20 응답 items by covering the second speaker and writing your own reply before checking.

Shadow 3 short dialogues (about 1 minute each) at natural speed to improve segmentation of connected speech.

Reduce average time per item by reviewing any item that required more than one replay.

Complete 2 full timed listening sets (50 items total) and compare accuracy against the Week 1 baseline.

Take structured notes on 4 monologue items using a keyword-and-arrow format, then answer the inference question from notes only.

Identify and drill 15 paraphrase pairs where the audio wording differs from the printed option wording.

Cut careless errors by reviewing every distractor and stating in one line why it is wrong.

Consolidate listening by completing 1 full timed set and re-listening only to missed segments, targeting 80 percent or higher accuracy.

Diagnose reading by completing one full 28-question 읽기 set under timed conditions and classifying errors by question type (빈칸, 순서, 문장삽입, 주제/제목, 어법, 어휘).

Build a 50-word academic vocabulary list from missed reading items with Korean definitions and one original sentence each.

Establish a per-passage time budget for reading that fits the total section time.

Master blank-filling (빈칸) items by solving 15 original items and writing a one-sentence logical relationship (contrast, cause, example) for each blank before choosing.

Practice sentence-insertion (문장삽입) by solving 10 items and marking the 3 cohesion signals (pronouns, connectors, repeated nouns) that locate the answer.

Drill ordering (순서) items by solving 10 items and identifying the opening sentence using reference and discourse markers.

Speed-read 6 passages with a 90-second cap each and summarize the main idea in one line.

Complete 2 full timed reading sets (56 items) and record accuracy per question type.

Target the two weakest question types with 20 additional original items each and re-teach the strategy in your own words.

Reduce vocabulary-driven errors by reviewing the 50-word list and adding 30 new words from missed items.

Practice eliminating 2 options quickly on every item to protect time for harder questions.

Simulate the full exam twice under strict timing (listening then reading, no pauses) and record section scores.

Audit both simulations for time-management failures and adjust the per-passage and per-item time budget.

Re-drill every item missed across both simulations until each can be explained without the answer key.

Maintain listening sharpness with 20 minutes of daily dictation or shadowing.

Run 1 final full simulation at exam start time and confirm stable scores in both sections.

Review only high-frequency error categories and the vocabulary list, avoiding new material.

Rehearse the listening pre-reading routine and the reading question-order strategy until automatic.

Finalize a test-day checklist covering timing checkpoints, answer-sheet transfer, and stress management.
