Where marks are usually lost
Stress: en·vi·ron·MEN·tal, un·der·GRAD·u·ate, com·pe·TI·tion, en·COUR·ag·ing, in·for·MA·tion, a·NAL·y·sis. Keep the -ed on received, delighted, shortlisted, posted and the -s on entries, projects, awards, solutions, problems. Don't slow down before undergraduate.
General tip: undergraduate and postgraduate share the same stress on GRAD; say them in the same rhythm so the pair sounds balanced.
