Here is the Korean CSAT English exam that was just released. I brought a fill-in-the-blank inference problem. You usually have to solve it within 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes

>>216731434 (OP)
Its a lot easier than the exams that I used to taken. What's wrong with zoomers? Gorya has fallen

>>216731571
Take*

>>216731571
was the time-limit the same?

>>216731434 (OP)
This text jumps between several writing styles - end result being mechanically overcomplicated soulless schizodrivel

>>216731598
Yeah might be

>>216731434 (OP)
No wonder koreans are bad at english if your exams are this retarded

It's 1.

>>216731679
But don't you see? The writer graduated from NUS and KAIST, making him right, and you're wrong.

>>216731773
Consciseness is sister of talent

>>216731766
I think it's 5

>>216731800
Great

>>216731766
Wrong

>>216731766
Fucking singlish. Of course it's 5.

>>216731434 (OP)
Probably (4) but this seems like a random jumble of words who tf wrote this slop

Here you go bros https://highschooltestprep.com/ap/english-language/practice-test-1/

>>216732860
It's harder than the op's pic. Am I cooked?

>>216731679
This. I fucking hate standardized exams. Niggercattle sorting algorithms.

what's the answer to this?

>>216735836
Clearly its 5

>>216731434 (OP)
5
1 sounds superficially right but it contradicts what comes later in the sentence

>>216731434 (OP)
You could convey this shit in half the words and double the clarity, what ESLoid concocted this?

>>216733652
The alternative to standardized exams is interviews. Pick your poison. I would take standardized exams over any soulless and corrupted interview process.

NOT 1, because the passage talks about the limitation of writing not observed in conversation

NOT 2, Never talked about style being the issue, it's purely about relaying the content of information and not how beautifully you can do it
NOT 3: deciding on what information to deliver is not the issue, it is how you deliver it

NOT 4: The passage explores about the one way communication from the writer to the reader, never hinted about this being a two way dialogue

YES 5: the sentence following the semicolon after the blank suggest that the writer must take into account how the reader would respond to any information that is relayed. if they could. Say if you wrote "I have a big coffee mug." The reader might wonder, "Is the mug very wide, tall, or both?" being elaborate matters

I took the Oxford aptitude test (specific to your major) and it was anything but this standardized crap. A list of actual physics problems that you have to solve and a real person who grades your work. None of the shitty gotcha questions, none of these "fill in the blanks" tumors like in the OP. And then there's the interview which is basically just you being asked about a physics problem in real time. That's it. If Oxford can do it, everyone can. They just don't want to because that would kill their enrollment rates and the money that goes with it.

ESLs may trip up with 3 because "desire for knowledge" may seem like "needing more information" but it actually means "want for more education" which is not relevant here

>>216731434 (OP)
I aint reading all that

Korean CSAT Spanish exam

"Which of the following is most appropriate to fill in the blanks (a) and (b)?"

>>216731434 (OP)
>clarity, relevance, proportion
all five options are sensible statements on their own, so dismissing nonsense doesn't help.

(4) can be ruled out. there is no collaborative writing here.
(3) that's just one of the three aspects stated, and it mistakes "more" for "proportionate"
(1) is a truism

(2) and (5) use the words "envision" and "anticipate", which mesh well with the "imagine" of the sentence after the semicolon. "envision" implies knowledge. we don't know the reader. to "anticipate" meshes better. (5) it is.

>>216738519
I can't solve that because I can't read the question.

>>216738519
(5) abc

>>216738394
(5) Está está

>>216738559
yes. (5)
many student chose 4 and 5

>>216738639
No. It's (4)

>>216738639
Fuck I just re-read the options, it's (4)
this is like middle school Spanish and I am embarrassed

>>216731434 (OP)
picrel is too big to read

>>216731434 (OP)
native english speakers couldn't even solve that shit

>>216731434 (OP)
the JLPT is A LOT like this
Asians love these bullshit """""reading comprehension""""" puzzles I guess
also the whole passage stinks of ESL writing
pathetic

>>216738783
>readers expect the same things that listeners expect in conversation: clarity, relevance, and proportion
>writing does not permit the nonverbal communication and immediate feedback

The clue to the problem has already been given

>>216733628
not really
