    The document provides tips for the word formation section of the Proficiency Examination. It explains that test takers must use word roots to fill gaps in a text by creating new words like "disable" or "ability". It advises that if unsure of the exact word, try thinking of common prefixes and suffixes to add to the root to find an answer that fits in the text. The tip is to try building words from roots rather than skipping questions, as you likely know more vocabulary than you think.

    Proficiency - Word Formation

    The third part of the Reading and Use of English paper in the
    Proficiency Examination is word formation where you have to use
    a root such as 'able' and create an appropriate word (disable, unable,
    ability) to fill the gap in a text.
    Exam Tip
    If you are sure that the word is, for example, an adjective but you
    can't think what the exact word is, try thinking of "usual"
    prefixes and suffixes. Perhaps it needs the suffix "ive" or the
    prefix "de". Try a few out and see which ones seem to be best.
    This can also be done with nouns and verbs. Remember one thing:
    you know more English than you think you do! If you don't try,
    when you see the answer, you'll say "I knew that", so think a little
    first, try to build your way to the answer.
