UEE English study plan

Skim 12 short passages (250–350 words each) and, for each, write a one-sentence main-idea statement within 90 seconds

Annotate every passage for the four question types that recur most: main idea, detail retrieval, inference, and author's attitude

Build a 60-item vocabulary log from the passages read, recording part of speech, a synonym, and one original sentence per item

Practise two timed sets of 10 reading questions each, logging accuracy and elapsed time per set

Complete 30 inference and attitude questions and write the textual evidence line that justifies each answer

Identify and correct 20 wrong answers by naming the distractor type (too broad, too narrow, contradicts text, unsupported)

Apply 40 word-formation exercises converting base words into the part of speech the sentence requires

Reduce per-passage reading time from week 1 by 15% while keeping accuracy at or above 75%

Drill 60 items on verb tense, subject–verb agreement, and article use, and rewrite each missed sentence correctly

Complete 40 items on relative clauses, conditionals, and reported speech, stating the rule that governs each answer

Finish 4 cloze passages (10 gaps each) and classify every gap by cue type: collocation, grammar, logic connector, or lexical meaning

Recite and apply a personal checklist of the 8 grammar errors you make most often

Complete 3 full cloze passages under a 12-minute limit each and score at least 70%

Do 40 sentence-completion items that require choosing the connector or transition that fits the logic

Rewrite 25 faulty sentences from your own week 3 log, then self-check against the rule sheet

Explain aloud, in under 60 seconds each, why 10 tricky grammar answers are correct

Write 3 error-correction passages (10 errors each) and label each error by category: agreement, tense, article, preposition, word form, or logic

Draft 2 short essays (180–220 words) in distinct registers: one formal academic, one semi-formal letter

Revise both drafts against a 6-point checklist covering thesis clarity, paragraph unity, connector use, and register consistency

Identify and fix 15 register errors, such as contractions or slang in formal text and over-formal phrasing in casual text

Write 2 argumentative essays (250–300 words) in 35 minutes each, using a clear claim–evidence–conclusion structure

Produce 3 paraphrases of a 150-word source passage without copying phrasing, then compare them against the original

Complete 2 timed reading sets of 15 questions each in 25 minutes and score at least 80%

Edit your own essays for cohesion, replacing weak connectors with precise transitions

Complete 6 listening passages (2–3 minutes each) and answer 5 questions per passage, noting keywords that signal the answer

Transcribe 3 short audio segments (60–90 seconds) and compare your transcript to the source to find comprehension gaps

Practise note-taking on 4 longer talks, capturing main points, numbers, and names in a structured outline

Do 2 timed cloze passages to keep domain 4 sharp, targeting 75% accuracy

Take 2 full-length mock exams under real time limits and record section-by-section scores

Review every wrong answer from both mocks and assign each to a domain and an error cause

Re-drill the 20 weakest items from your error logs across all domains

Write one final timed essay and one timed reading set to confirm peak performance
