No, TBH I find them relatively straightforward on the whole. I've just
ploughed through one of the books which lists all the "grammar points"
that are tested, and as a result generally get about 70-75% right - I'm
a very borderline case (60%) overall, so that counts as good for me! It
seems to be mostly pattern recognition, some of which doesn't even
require any understanding at all - eg tatoe____ means you are looking
for something with a -temo ending (and sae...-ba came up here recently
too).
Yes. They mix up questions where you need to know the right verb forms
etc to plug into the grammar pattern with ones where you need to know
the (approximate) meaning of the pattern. The best approach IMHO is to
go through a book like the one James mentions (I find the Kanzen Master
grammar book not too bad, although sometimes its explanations of the
meaning are a little crude). Ideally you want to just load all this
stuff into your brain so you can run quickly through most of the questions
going '1, 3, 4, 1, 2...' -- you don't have time to spend much thought on
each question. It's worth making sure you have all the different
patterns involving もの、 こと、 わけ straight as well.
I find the reading comprehension to be the toughest bit of the exam,
and rush through the grammar first so I can have as much time as
possible for it
On the other hand, each question in the reading is worth more marks
than each question in the grammar part, so if you're going to run
out of time you want it to be while you're doing the grammar section.
(I'm assuming that you do the obvious and putting something at random
for the questions you didn't get to. I like "4", personally.)
