English Language Proficiency Exam

English Language Proficiency Examにまつわる興味深い視点を分かりやすく発信ます。

Two weeks before the exam, your brain will try to sabotage you. “You don’t know the word ‘ubiquitous’!” it will scream. Ignore it. You do know ‘ubiquitous.’ It means ‘everywhere.’ Like dust bunnies under your couch.

Instead, do these three things: sleep like a bear in winter, eat real food (not just candy), and review your notes. That’s it. The night before, watch a comedy show. Laughter releases stress hormones, and you’ll dream of funny puns instead of grammar rules.

On exam day, wear your lucky socks. Lucky socks have magical properties, as confirmed by every athlete ever. Also, bring a snack. Nothing says “I dominate this test” like casually munching a granola bar during the break.

After the Exam: The Glorious Aftermath

You’ll walk out feeling like a superhero who just fought a dragon. Even if you think you bombed it, you didn’t. The fact that you tried is already a win. Most people don’t even sign up.

And guess what? Even if your score is lower than you hoped, you can retake it. It’s not a tattoo—it’s a test. You can erase and redo. How many things in life let you do that?

So, go ahead. Take that exam. Own it. And when you finish, treat yourself to something ridiculous—like a giant ice cream sundae or a nap that lasts until tomorrow. You’ve earned it.

Remember: You didn’t come this far to only come this far. The English language is just a tool. And you, my friend, are the one holding it. Now go smash that test—and maybe text me afterwards. I’ll be here, eating popcorn and rooting for you.
