考試日 10 大貼士 10 test-day tips

  1. 不留空白——本試不設扣分 Never leave a blank — there is no negative marking
    答錯不扣分,留空才是唯一「必輸」的選擇。最後兩分鐘,把所有未答題目都填上——盲猜也有兩三成機會中。
    Wrong answers cost nothing, so an empty bubble is the only truly wrong move. In your final two minutes, fill in every remaining question — even a blind guess has a 20–25% chance.
  2. 入場前先算好每題時間 Do the per-question maths before you sit down
    英文卷每題約 67 秒、中文卷約 60 秒、能力傾向約 77 秒。事先熟習節奏;若一題超過約 1.5 倍時間,就先標記、跳過。
    UE gives ~67 seconds a question, UC ~60, AT ~77. Feel that rhythm in advance. If a question takes more than about 1.5× its share, mark it and move on.
  3. 時間分配是練習策略,不是固定應試規則 Timing advice is a practice strategy, not a fixed examination rule
    先用一份限時練習記錄自己在哪類題目花最多時間,再比較不同作答次序。遇到暫時卡住的題目,可按試卷規則及自己的練習結果決定是否先跳過。不要將某一類題目一律留到最後,或把固定作答比例當成合格門檻。
    Use a timed practice attempt to identify which question types take you longest, then compare different approaches. When stuck, decide whether to move on according to the paper's rules and what you have learned from practice. Do not assume one section should always come last or that a fixed proportion of attempted questions guarantees a pass.
  4. 計算機只限能力傾向卷,且必須靜音型 Bring a calculator — but only a silent one, for the Aptitude Test only
    計算機只准在能力傾向測試使用,且須為無線、靜音,不設列印、繪圖、文字顯示或字典功能。可程式或手機計算機有機會被視為違規,切勿冒險。
    Calculators are permitted only in AT. It must be cordless and silent, with no printing, no graphic or word display, and no dictionary function. A programmable or phone calculator can get you flagged — don't risk it.
  5. 戴指針錶,別戴智能錶 Wear an analog watch — the smartwatch stays home
    所有電子裝置都要關掉,智能手錶亦屬電子裝置。試場時鐘可能在你身後,桌上一隻安靜的指針錶最可靠。
    All electronic devices must be off, and a smartwatch is electronic. The wall clock might be behind you; a quiet analog watch on your desk is the safest pacer.
  6. 帶身份證,並記住座位號碼 Bring your HKID, and know your seat number
    監考員會即場核對你的身份證,所以要帶回報名時所用的那張。座位號碼會以電郵通知——先記下,到場就能快速找到座位,不必臨場慌張。
    Invigilators check your ID on the spot, so bring the exact one you registered with. Your seat number arrives by email — note it beforehand so you can find your desk fast instead of scrambling when you walk in.
  7. 自備 2B 鉛筆——答題紙由機器閱讀 Bring your own 2B pencils — the sheet is machine-read
    答題紙是 OMR 填格式。HB 鉛筆、太淡的填塗或擦不乾淨的改動都會被誤讀。兩支削好的 2B 鉛筆加乾淨橡皮擦,守住你每一分。
    Answer sheets are OMR bubbles. HB pencils, faint marks, or half-erased changes get misread. Two sharpened 2B pencils and a clean eraser protect every mark you earn.
  8. 小心填格——錯一格會連環出錯 Guard your bubbling — one slip cascades
    若在試題紙上跳過一題卻沒在答題紙上跳過,之後每個答案都會順移一行。每做幾題就核對題號與填格行數;要跳題就在試題紙上圈起來。
    Skip a question on the paper but not on the answer sheet, and every answer after it shifts down a row. Every few questions, check the question number matches the row you're filling; if you skip one, circle it on the question paper.
  9. 主攻最弱一卷——一次及格,終身有效 Attack your weakest paper — one clean pass is forever
    你不必一次考齊三卷,2006 年 12 月起的及格成績永久有效。把精力放在最弱的一卷;即使某卷考得不順,也別慌——它不影響其他卷。
    You don't need all three in one sitting, and passes from Dec 2006 onward never expire. Put your energy into your weakest paper, and if one paper feels rough on the day, don't spiral — it doesn't touch the others.
  10. 提早 30–45 分鐘到場,先熟習環境 Arrive 30–45 minutes early and scope the room
    試場多在陌生的大學禮堂。先弄清港鐵出口、找到座位、去洗手間、安定心神,別讓匆忙進場毀了第一卷。
    Centres are often unfamiliar university halls. Know the MTR exit, find your seat, use the toilet, and settle your nerves before the clock starts — a rushed arrival wrecks your first paper.

試做三條題目 Try three questions

每卷各一條,先自己作答再展開詳解。完整練習題在各卷專頁。 One from each paper — answer it yourself, then reveal the explanation. Full practice sets live on each paper's page.

CRE 中文運用 — 詞句運用

語言的活力,在於它能隨著時代不斷演變;______,胡亂借用外來詞彙而丟失核心表達,卻是一種退步。

  • A. 然而
  • B. 因此
  • C. 何況
  • D. 反而

答案 Answer: A

詳解 Explanation: 前半句肯定語言演變的活力,後半句批評「胡亂借用外來詞而丟失核心表達」是退步,兩者方向相反——先肯定演變,再指出演變的底線,形成讓步轉折。A「然而」引出與前文立場相對的補充,準確表達「演變固然好,但也有底線」的轉折邏輯,且後文「卻」字與「然而」搭配自然,加強轉折語氣。B「因此」表因果,意謂「因為語言有活力,所以胡亂借詞是退步」,因果不成立,語義混亂。C「何況」表遞進,用於同向加強論點,但前後兩句評價方向相反,遞進不適用,語義矛盾。D「反而」表出乎意料的逆轉,但「反而胡亂借詞…卻是退步」意味語言演變令人預期胡亂借詞是好事,邏輯前提錯誤;且句末已有「卻」字表達逆轉,「反而」與「卻」語義重疊,語感失衡。故A。

CRE 能力傾向測試 — Numerical Reasoning

Find the next number in the sequence:
4, 12, 26, 46, 72, ?

  • A. 104
  • B. 114
  • C. 124
  • D. 134
  • E. 174

答案 Answer: A

詳解 Explanation: The pattern: the gaps between terms are 8, 14, 20, 26 (each 6 more than the last); the next gap is 32, so 72+32=104. So the answer is 104.

做完第一份練習,下一步不一定是再開一份卷 After your first practice, do not automatically start another paper

先從錯題中找出最常見的原因: Identify the most common reason for your mistakes:

下一次練習只選一個重點,例如「先列齊條件才看選項」。這比只比較兩次總分,更容易看出自己的方法有沒有改善。以上是自習建議,並非合格保證。

Choose one focus for the next practice, such as listing all conditions before examining the options. This makes it easier to assess your method instead of only comparing total scores. These are self-study suggestions, not a guarantee of passing.
