📘 Tips for Exam Preparation

Make sure you remember key facts: author’s name, Seibei’s age, his hobby, special gourd’s price, how much it sold for later, setting (harbour town).

Understand important incidents: how his teacher reacted, what his father did, how his hobby changed later.

Many MCQs ask for direct details (dates, numbers, amounts) so make a quick sheet of those.

Also expect the “type of text” question (short story vs essay vs drama).

Practice matching/complete-the-sentence type objective items (e.g., “Seibei was passionately interested in ___”).

Use previous years’ MCQs for pattern — many repeat details. For example, many sources show answers like above.
