English Language
English Language underpins every other paper you write. Objective questions test grammar and vocabulary directly, and the same skills decide how clearly you express yourself in essays and comprehension answers.
Short, frequent practice works best: a few questions a day on concord, tenses and vocabulary builds instinct faster than occasional long sessions.

How to study English Language
- Read the whole sentence before choosing an option. The clue to the right answer is often at the end.
- Keep a notebook of new words with a synonym, an antonym and an example sentence for each.
- Learn the rule behind each concord mistake you make, not just the correct answer.
- Read good English every day: newspapers, novels and well-edited websites.
