Words to stress correctly
| information | in·for·MA·tion | /ɪnfɚˈmeɪʃən/ |
| important | im·POR·tant | /ɪmˈpɔrtənt/ |
| studying | STUD·y·ing | /ˈstʌdiɪŋ/ |
| provide | pro·VIDE | /prəˈvaɪd/ |
40 words, aim 15–18 seconds. No numbers. It's short, so don't rush—keep an even pace. Breathe after studying, tests.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress in·for·MA·tion on the third syllable, im·POR·tant and pro·VIDE on the second, STUD·y·ing on the first. Sound every plural: classes, teachers, topics, tests, notes, and the -s on says. Don't swallow the final -t in important.
General tip: 'studying' has three syllables—STUD-y-ing—don't compress it to two.
