01 Basic Information

The National English Competition for College Students (NECCS) is approved by the relevant departments of the Ministry of Education and co-sponsored by the International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language, China Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL China) and the University Foreign Language Teaching Research Association of Colleges and Universities. It is an English comprehensive ability competition for college students organized by the counseling newspaper and the examination and evaluation magazine.
The 2023 National English Contest for College Students (NECCS), the twenty-fifth National English Contest for College Students will register from February 9, 2023 to April 9, 2023, and the national preliminary competition is scheduled for May 7, 2023 (Sunday ) The national finals are scheduled to be held on June 3, 2023 (Saturday), and the national finals are scheduled to be held during the summer vacation of 2023.
The National College English Contest is the most cost-effective national competition, because it is divided into preliminary competition and final competition. The preliminary competition is selected within the school, that is to say, you only have to compete with your classmates on the same stage. If it is better, then the probability of winning the prize will be very high.
Even if your English foundation is not particularly good, as long as you spare enough time to carefully prepare and brush up the questions, the chances of winning are very high. Because the Great Britain Competition has an obvious feature, that is, the amount of questions is extremely large. If some students have not done the questions before, are completely unfamiliar with the question types, and do not know that the amount of questions is particularly large, they just feel that they have a good foundation in English and go directly to participate. , is likely to be endless.
The full score of the Great Britain Competition is 150 points. The question of how many points can win the prize is very interesting. It depends on the difficulty of the test questions and the English proficiency of the participating students in your school. The scores of the prizes are different from school to school. Because it is a school competition. Some schools may get the third prize with more than 80 points, while some schools need more than 100 points to get the third prize.

3. How to prepare

04 How to prepare

The first step must be to find the real questions over the years.
The second step is to brush the questions. Among them, I personally think that the IQ questions are the easiest to improve in a short period of time in the preliminary round , because they have common rules for several consecutive years . You can figure it out by doing a few more sets of questions. Of course, if this year's IQ questions have changed a lot and you have no clue at once, then it is not recommended to spend a lot of time on this question. Because there are still two essays in the back!
①Most articles can be read without complete reading. As long as you lock the paragraph where the key words are located, and then read carefully, you can choose the correct answer.
②Don't worry if you can't find the error when correcting the wrong question, maybe it is really correct.
First of all, in terms of listening, you can find out the common points of the four options when looking at the options , and roughly guess how the questions will be answered , so that you can prepare in advance.
Secondly, in terms of reading, the large amount of questions is the characteristic of reading , so we must speed up the reading speed and learn to skim.
Finally, in terms of composition, the subject matter of the composition is generally fixed , so it will be very helpful to have a ready-to-use template and be familiar with the relevant writing methods;
There are a lot of questions in the Great Britain Competition, and the questions may not be finished in general , so they should be discarded appropriately, such as intelligence tests with few scores and difficult individual choices ;
reading comprehension mainly examines skimming and scanning. It is easier to get started, So you can prepare well, the same is true for composition, and practice writing more usually.
Generally speaking, in terms of real test practice, I did the real test for about a month, and completed it on time every time, so I had enough time to go to the examination room.
