The Level 4 and Level 6 exams are University English Level 4and Level 6 exams. The Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams are usually held in June or December every year. Many of them are busy with other things and don't have time to prepare for the exams, and they are often at a loss because there is only one month left to prepare for the exams. So, if there is only one month left, how should we prepare for the Grade 4 exam and Grade 6 exam in one month?
Combined with my personal experience and the advice of my friends around me, I have compiled the following aspects of how to prepare for the Level 4 exam and the Level 6 exam in one month, which are to utilize fractional time to memorize more words, do a lot of questions and summarize the experience, take practice tests, overcome psychological difficulties, the precautions for the Level 4 exam and the Level 6 exam, and the concluding remarks in six parts.
How to Prepare for the Level 4 and Level 6 Exams in One Month
I, Using Fragmentary Time to Memorize More Vocabulary
Using Fragmentary Time to Memorize More Vocabulary - Thinking Maps
1) The Requirement for Vocabulary in the Level 4 Exam and the Level 6 Exam
This is the first time that we have seen the results of a study in the United States, which was conducted in the United States.
The purpose of the English Level 4 and Level 6 exams is to provide objective and accurate measurements of college students' actual English proficiency and to provide assessment services for college English teaching.
Table of Vocabulary Requirements for Different Levels of English Exams
According to the relevant syllabus, the English IV exam requires a vocabulary of 4200, and the English VI exam requires a vocabulary of 5500. But if you are more capable, you can master 5000 words without any problem. The core vocabulary prescribed by the National Unified Examination for Admission to General Colleges and Universities is 3,500 words, which means that if we want to use one month to pass the English Level 4 and Level 6 exams during our college years, we need to master about 700 or 1,500 words in one month. If you are preparing for the Grade 4 exam, you should master about 23 new words every day in the remaining month. If you are preparing for the Grade 6 exam, you should master about 50 new words every day.
2) The Need and Importance of Memorizing More Words
At this point, some people may say, "Now that we have to go to class every day, and there's a whole lot of classroom homework, how can we have so much time to memorize words? Is it possible not to memorize the words?" It is true that the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams are in June or December, and in December, for example, which is currently closer, December is usually in the mid-term to end-of-semester phase of a semester,a period in which we have a lot of homework and assignments, as well as a variety of mid-term exams. Bombarded with PPTs, small essays, investigative reports, book reports, midterm exams, and group assignments, we often lament that we have too little time and too many tasks.
Stick to memorizing words
But no matter what time it is, we can't afford to slacken off on our preparation for the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams because we have too many tasks. Because for the subject of English, whether in elementary school, middle school, high school, or college, memorizing vocabulary is a method of learning that will yield significant gains in the short term. Moreover, the content of both the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams is in English,only when our vocabulary reaches a certain level will we be able to read and understand what the questions and essays are saying. And when we can understand what the questions and articles are saying, the answers will come out.
It is important to mention that many people now say that the Grade 4 exam is very simple, with a level of difficulty similar to that of high school English, and that there is no need to prepare for it. Admittedly, there is a little bit of truth in these views. Take my personal experience as an example, I didn't prepare much before taking the Grade 4 exam in my freshman year, and then I also passed the exam. And there are many such examples around me. But can we really not prepare before the exam?
My view is that we should look at this phenomenon rationally and not generalize. In addition, it should be noted that such cases of not preparing but passing the exam are often just reaching the score line, or more than a dozen points above the score line. It can be said that people who do not prepare in advance usually can not achieve high scores, and the risk of doing so is relatively high. In case of a mistake somewhere there is a possibility of defeat. There are also a lot of students around who have taken the Grade 4 exam three or four times and still failed. So we shouldn't relax on ourselves when we see that some of our students passed the exam very easily. The first thing you need to do is to memorize the words and prepare for the test. The first thing you need to do is to take the test seriously, and the second thing you need to do is to take the test even more seriously. The difficulty of the test is much higher than that of the four levels, and the process of the test will encounter a lot of vocabulary, and very few people can pass the test without preparing in advance.
3) How to memorize words
Above, we talked about how many words we should know and why we should memorize words. The next step is how to memorize words skillfully. We should admit that, on the one hand, there is very little time at our disposal in the month approaching the Grade 4 exam and Grade 6 exam; on the other hand, we should try to improve our vocabulary. Therefore,it is especially important to memorize words skillfully at this time.
How to memorize vocabulary skillfully-Thinking Maps
First of all, we have to learn to make use of the scattered time. Mr. Lu Xun once said, "Time is like a sponge, squeeze it and you will have it." In the ten minutes between classes, we can memorize a few words; while waiting for our meals to be served, we can also memorize a few words instead of relieving our boredom by swiping our cell phones vacantly. Secondly, we need to learn to do things more efficiently. In this month, there will be a lot of classroom assignments waiting for us to deal with, at this time we should not procrastinate, but should be quick, improve the efficiency of doing things. One by one, we will complete the tasks that need to be done, and then leave the right amount of time to memorize the words. Once again, we should use a scientific method of memorization. When memorizing words, you should make sure that your mind is clear; when memorizing words, you can try to memorize them in groups of seven, read and write them three times in each group, and you can also memorize them while writing them, and then try to write them completely by heart. Additionally, we can supervise each other with other students who are also preparing for the Grade 4 exam and Grade 6 exam. You can agree to send each other screenshots of your memorized words every day, or you can remind each other when you haven't memorized your words, or you can even test each other's memorization face to face, doing your homework and monitoring each other's work.
2, a lot of questions and summarize the experience

The question types of the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams are four parts: writing, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and translation, respectively. The test is a series of three sections: listening to short news, long conversations, and listening chapters; listening to long conversations, listening chapters, and speeches/reports/lectures; reading comprehension, long reading, and close reading; and translating from and to paragraphs, using the form of translation.
Level 4 test writing score accounted for fifteen percent; listening to short news, long conversation and listening chapter accounted for seven percent, eight percent, twenty percent; reading comprehension vocabulary comprehension, long reading and careful reading accounted for five percent, ten percent, twenty percent; translation accounted for percent.
The content of the test for Level 4
Level 6 test Writing is worth fifteen percent; Listening is eight, seven, and twenty percent for long conversations, listening chapters, and speeches/reports/lectures, respectively; Reading comprehension is five, ten, and twenty percent for vocabulary comprehension, long readings, and close readings, percent; and fifteen percent for translation.
The content of the test
Through questions and interviews, I learned that among the four types of questions, listening and reading comprehension are the ones that give students more headaches. The difficulty of listening is mainly reflected in the fact that the listening questions are not given directly, but appear later in the listening recording. The difficulty of reading comprehension is reflected in the fact that there are too many vocabulary words that make it difficult for students to understand the meaning of the whole article. You can pay more attention to these two aspects when preparing for the Grade 4 exam and Grade 6 exam.
2) The Need and Importance of Doing Questions
For many people, doing questions is a better way to revise. Doing questions allows us to memorize the corresponding question types and solutions. And for Level 4 and Level 6 exams, we need to do a lot of questions, especially past years' questions. This will not only improve our ability and level of doing questions, but also enhance our confidence. As we all know, many students are nervous during the exam, and sometimes too much nervousness even leads to misbehavior. And more questions can increase our grasp of the test and confidence, can to a certain extent to overcome the nervousness, so as to play their normal level on the test field.
3) How to do the questions
How to do the questions - mind map
First of all, strict timing. This will not only improve your speed, but also enable you to gradually develop the habit of being fast and accurate, so that you will not be unable to finish the questions in the exam. Secondly, insist on a certain amount of writing and translation every week. After you finish writing, you can give it to your teacher or classmates for checking and repairing, so that you can improve your writing and translating ability in a little bit. Once again, pay attention to catching important knowledge. Additionally, we need to timely summarize the notes, wrong questions, knowledge points, and solution rules that we have compiled in the process of doing the questions.
Three, conduct practice tests
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Memorizing words and doing questions is just a kind of pre-preparation. When it comes to a certain stage, we need to use what we have learned in the "real world", to check for flaws. And practice tests can play this role. In the middle and end of the month when we are approaching the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams, we can take a practice test.
Putting what you've learned into practice
Strictly according to the time and question standards of the Level 4 and Level 6 exams, use all your previous learning to complete a full set of mock papers for the Level 4 and Level 6 exams. Then spend 1-2 days organizing the set of questions, exploring in depth every point you missed in the set of questions and summarizing your experience.
Fourth, to overcome the psychological difficulties
Since a month's time is too short, many students will be anxious and fearful of the psychological. This is a normal phenomenon, but we need to overcome these psychological challenges and adjust ourselves in time. There are many ways to overcome the psychological challenges, for example, we can keep suggesting that we will be able to do it, we can also get together with our friends for a meal, and we can also seek the help of our school's English teacher or other elders ......
Going to the exam with a better psychological state will have a significant impact on our test performance and test scores.
Fifth, the fourth and sixth grade examination
Next, I would like to talk about the fourth and sixth grade examination.
Precautions for the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams
First of all, you need to prepare a radio and a receiver, and you need to check the battery level of the radio in advance, or you can prepare two spare batteries in case of emergencies. The second thing to do is to prepare for the exams, the large exams such as the fourth and sixth grade exams, usually need to show the corresponding documents. If you can't provide them, you may not be able to take the exam properly. Once again, you should familiarize yourself with the examination rooms for the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams in advance. In general, if your school has a test center for the Level 4 and Level 6 exams, you will usually take the exams in your school, but to be on the safe side, you still need to familiarize yourself with the test center and its vicinity in advance, so as to avoid encountering any unexpected situations.
Additionally, we also need to pay attention to the time of the exam. The time here does not only refer to the day and time of the exam, but also refers to the length of the exam a ****. According to the experience of past students, many of them can't finish the exam within the specified time. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the time of the exam and plan the time schedule of each part so as not to fail to finish the questions. The exam time for the Grade 4 exam is 125 minutes. The time for the Level 6 exam is 150 minutes.
Sixth, Conclusion
The Level 4 exam and the Level 6 exam are exams that almost every college student has to go through. As a schoolmate who has already passed the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams, I would like to say that the Grade 4 and Grade 6 exams are not difficult, but they are not easy either.
