How to Get 100% Out of This Book

1.
This textbook was created to help you understand the changing characteristics of Grade 9 English and develop appropriate learning strategies by comparing and analyzing the format of Grade 9 exam questions from the past with the format of exam questions that have changed over the past three years.
Therefore, your first goal should be to read the help provided in the Old and New Problems sections at the beginning of each chapter and see how the actual problems have changed.
(You don't need to solve all the problems at this stage.
Please focus on understanding the nature of the problem.)

2.
Even though the types of questions that were asked in the past are no longer being asked, check to see if there are any curricula that force students to study for those types of questions or include those types of questions in mock exams, and check whether your study method was correct or not.

3.
Based on the above analysis, it's essential to determine how you should study to achieve the highest score in the shortest amount of time and with the greatest efficiency, and to optimize your study plan.

4.
Finally, you can learn about the characteristics of the lectures that are most optimized for the current trend and create your own optimal curriculum.

By going through the steps above, you'll become familiar with the changes and trends in the exam across all areas of vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and everyday English. Before you begin your full-fledged studies, it's important to clearly understand why you must choose a study method that's appropriate for the changing exam.

Finally, take the time to solve recent exam questions yourself to identify the key points of the English exam questions these days and understand your current position.
The most important thing here is to grasp the point rather than getting the answer right.
For first-time test takers, we recommend listening to the lectures before solving the problems. For retakers, we recommend solving the problems first and then making sure to check the lectures to understand why these problems were included.
