This planner assumes roughly 45–75 minutes of dedicated vocabulary study per day, on top of whatever else is in your daily preparation schedule. It is built around three principles: small daily doses (20–25 new words, never more), spaced revision (each day's new words come back for review the next day, then again after three days, then again after a week), and active recall before passive reading — always try to remember a word's meaning before looking it up again, since the act of struggling to recall is what cements it in memory.
With this edition's larger word count (over 800 words across four tiers, plus 150 substitutions, 70 confusing pairs, 120 idioms, 40 proverbs, and 100 synonym-antonym pairs), the plan has grown from six weeks to ten. Adjust the exact day count to your own exam timeline, but do not compress the spacing intervals — they are what makes the difference between words you "recognise" and words you can actually produce under pressure.

Day 70
Final consolidated mock: 50 self-made questions drawn from your own weak list (across all four tiers, substitutions, pairs, idioms, and proverbs), timed at 40 minutes, followed by a clean, unhurried review.
After Day 70: fold this book into your weekly revision cycle rather than shelving it. Revisit fifteen random words from each tier every week until your exam date, along with five idioms or proverbs and five synonym-antonym pairs — a fifteen-minute habit that keeps the entire list retrievable under pressure, which is the only kind of vocabulary knowledge that actually earns marks on exam day.

1.Identify the type of the capitalised verb in the sentence: "He READS the newspaper daily."
2.Read the passage and answer the question:
"After the company switched to a four-day work week on a trial basis, management noticed several unexpected changes over the following months. Employee sick-leave requests dropped by nearly a third compared to the same period the previous year, and the number of errors reported in client-facing documents also declined noticeably. However, a survey conducted toward the end of the trial revealed that many employees felt increased pressure to complete the same workload in fewer days, with several describing their four working days as more mentally exhausting than the previous five-day arrangement had been. Despite this, when asked whether they would prefer to return to the traditional schedule, an overwhelming majority of employees said they would not."
Question: What can be inferred about employees' experience of daily workload under the new schedule?
