Actually there is no any short cut for learning. You have to make accumulation day after day. Six month is not a short time, I think as long as you make efforts, you will succeed at last. I'm an English major and I have graduated now. I can tell you that all of my classmates passed the TEM8. No one failed. What's more, none of us made a review of our textbook, or listened to the tapes, or did some exercises. We just entered the classroom, filled the blanks in the examination paper, handed in the paper, went out of the classroom, and passed the examination! Haha! Please forgive my "humor".I just want to say that, please make a good use of every minute. I know you are busy and you may have little time to study, but since you have a goal, please try your best to achieve it.Good luck !
