大問1の正解率を上げるコツ
- 選択肢を見る前に空所を予測する
「ここには動詞が入りそう」「否定的な意味になりそう」と先に見当をつけてから選択肢を見ると、似た意味の紛らわしい選択肢に引っかかりにくくなります。 - 熟語・句動詞はセットで覚える
大問1の後半は熟語・句動詞の比重が上がります。単語をバラバラに覚えるのではなく、前置詞まで含めたかたまりで覚えてください。 - 知らない単語は消去法に逃げず、文脈から絞る
空所の前後にある but / because / however などのつなぎ言葉は、入る語句の方向（プラスかマイナスか）を教えてくれます。 - まちがえた問題をくり返す
このページはまちがえた問題が①すぐ ②1日後 ③3日後 ④7日後 ⑤30日後に自動で再出題されます。新しい問題を増やすより、まちがえた問題を潰すほうが正解率は上がります。
