Master the Eiken Test

Vocabulary Section: Study common prefixes, suffixes, and root words to help deduce the meaning of unfamiliar words. Create flashcards for words you struggle with and review them regularly.

Reading Section: Look for keywords in the questions first, then scan the passage for those terms to quickly locate relevant information. Practice skimming and scanning techniques to save time.

Time Management: Allocate specific amounts of time for each section based on the number of questions and your comfort level. Leave 5-10 minutes at the end to review your answers.

Preview Questions: Use the time before each audio clip to preview the answer choices so you know what information to listen for. Underline keywords in the questions.

Focus on Key Details: Pay special attention to numbers, names, times, and locations as these are often key to answering questions correctly. Take brief notes if allowed.

Move On: If you miss something, make your best guess and move on - don't let one difficult question distract you from the next item. You can often infer answers from context.

Clear Speech: Practice speaking clearly and at a moderate pace. Record yourself to evaluate your pronunciation and fluency. Use language learning apps for guided speaking exercises.

Common Topics: Familiarize yourself with common interview topics and questions for your Eiken level. Practice answering them concisely and confidently.

Mock Interviews: Conduct mock interviews with a teacher or language partner. Focus on receiving and responding to questions naturally.
