Study Tactics

Do not just memorize translation equivalents; study words in context (collocations). Pay special attention to Sino-Japanese compound words (熟語), onomatopoeia (擬音語・擬態語), and transitive/intransitive verbs. Practice writing sentences using new vocabulary and solve plenty of past-year questions to understand subtle nuances.
