63 Soal Latihan dan Pembahasan Tes Bahasa Inggris (TBI) USM PKN STAN Tahun 2020 ; Materi Structure
PKN STAN atau Politeknik Keuangan Negara Sekolah Tinggi Keuangan Negara merupakan salah satu sekolah tinggi kedinasan yang makin banyak peminatnya. Setiap tahunnya, jumlah pendaftar PKN STAN selalu bertambah. Sekolah kedinasan ini selalu menjadi salah satu yang paling banyak diincar dibandingkan dengan perguruan tinggi kedinasan atau bahkan perguruan tinggi lainnya. Tentu saja persaingan antar pendaftar akan semakin ketat, karenanya, persiapan sejak dini menjadi senjata satu- satunya untuk memperebutkan satu kursi di kampus PKN STAN.
Ada beberapa macam tes yang mesti dilalui untuk masuk PKN STAN, antara lain TPA dan TBI. Nah, khusus untuk TBI, soal terdiri dari soal structure dan reading comprehension (dari pengalaman tahun sebelumnya). Soal structure bahasa Inggris merupakan soal yang unik, karena memang harus mengenali tipikal soal berdasarkan bentuk grammatikalnya. Kebanyakan materi-materi structure grammar yang keluar belum diajarkan di sekolah. Karenanya, mulailah untuk mencari buku- buku yang relevan untuk belajar bahasa Inggris (Baca artikel saya tentang : .Rekomendasi buku bahasa Inggris Grammar untuk masuk PKN STAN)
