Features: In conversations with many high-scoring candidates, we found that they all extensively studied real exam questions. This extensive practice enabled them to accurately grasp the test-taking patterns. Moreover, they encountered numerous "familiar-sounding" words during the exam. This is because the English Advanced Interpretation Exam has a distinctive feature: many words repeat in the exam, and these high-frequency words play a pivotal role. Therefore, these vocabulary items should also hold significant importance in candidates' review. Thus, we conducted a frequency analysis of the unconscious gains of successful candidates and arranged the words in descending order of frequency, hoping that candidates should particularly master the high-frequency words.
