This step can begin ten days or half a month after the first pass is completed. Do a complete set of grammar questions every day, but you don't need to control the time to do the questions to improve the accuracy.
After completing the correct answer, summarize the reason for the wrong question, and record the wrong question number. The effect that the candidates need to achieve this time is: correct the mistakes of each wrong question, and find out the cause of the wrong choices of each sentence improvement and paragraph improvement questions.
The third pass, summarized topic by topic, aims to maximize the value of the official guide.
This step can begin as soon as the second pass is completed. During the third pass, you can do the following things:
1. Carefully read each question and analyze the structure of each sentence.
2. Pay attention to the fixed collocations in stem sentences. These collocations may not necessarily show the underlined part of the topic. As long as they appear in the sentence, they should be treated equally.
3. Pay special attention to the questions you did wrong the second time.
