準備考試其實最重要的就是練習，先熟習考試的方式與作答的時間都有助於上戰場時的反應。以下提出幾題給各位小試身手，答錯了不要氣餒，下方都是解析，在錯誤中學習增進自己的實力！加油！！

單句填空共40題，每題有四個選項。這部分考題內容相當廣泛，包含名詞、動詞、形容詞、副詞、連接詞及介係詞等六大類。筆者僅就最常見之兩大題型略做分析。

一、 用字（word choice）類型：請應試者選出最符合文意的字詞。這一類試題通常選項性質全部一致，若是考形容詞則選項詞性全部皆為形容詞，例如：

　
I heard that the electrician says we should have a _____ overhaul of the wiring.
(A) complete
(B ) fair
(C) whole
(D) round


　　正確答案為(A)。這類題目主要考應試者的單字能力，本題可從水電工建議的overhaul（大檢修）來推斷答案應選complete（完整）。

二、 詞類/文法（word use/或part of speech）類型：在這類型的題目中，應試者必須先判斷空格應填入的詞性－名詞、動詞、形容詞、副詞或介系詞等，再針對選項選出最適當的用字。如下題選項包含了account、accountant、accountable、accountability四種不同類型的字：

　
All staff members are _____ for the accuracy of their time cards.
(A) account
(B ) accountant
(C) accountable
(D) accountability
　


　　正確答案為(C)。由空格置於be動詞後方，可得知應是主詞補語，再加上空格後方為一介係詞for，因此推斷這題的主詞補語為accountable for（為…負責）。
　
Part VI：短文填空
　
　應對技巧大致與「單句填空」類似。但除了語法外，還要注意前後文連貫的問題。如下方例題：

To: M. Brown
From: K. Ikeda
Subject: New Work Assignment
Date: July 11
　　
　　I want to congratulate you on your (1) work on the revised Essex
project. Ithink your time line will allow us to keep the project moving
while giving us enough time to work through thetechnical problems.
Dividing the work (2) the four teams is a much more efficient
approach, and as you saw at today's meeting, it addresses the needs
of allparties involved.

　　Because you've become so familiar with the project, I'd like you to (3)
the progress in the technical area. I know that this will be your first
managerial role,but your efforts on the time line and other projects
indicate to me that you are capable of it.

　　Let me know how you feel about this. I'd like to set up a meeting with
Karen as soon as possible to discus software requirements, and you
would (4) to be there, of course.

1.
A. outstanding B. expressive C. chief D. restrained
2.
A. above B. through C. among D. before
3.
A. imagine B. supervise C. transfer D. exchange
4.
A. wanting B. wanted C. wants D. want



　答案分別為(A)、(C)、(B )、(D)。
第一題中，由於前方已表示道賀，故後方當然使用outstanding（傑出的）來修飾work這個名詞。
第二題測驗介係詞的觀念。由於空格後方的受詞為the four teams，因此推斷應使用among（在……其中）的介係詞。
第三題測試單字能力。要在四個選項中選出一個最適合的動詞置於受詞the progress in the technical are（技術面的進度）的前方，考量文意後應選（B）「監督、管理」。
第四題考的是文法觀念，在助動詞would的後方應接原形動詞，故選(D)。
