How we counted: Abrari matched each question in these papers, including items whose answer key is still under review, to the one textbook unit or question type it tests. The shares are approximate and are not an official exam blueprint.
How to use this
- Drill the most common question types first: Grammar; Dialogues and everyday expressions; Vocabulary in context.
- 8 question types came up in every year from 2015 to 2018 E.C.
- Answer letters are spread evenly across A, B, C and D, so guessing patterns do not help. Practise one question type at a time, then sit a full paper against the clock.
