The document provides tips for the word formation section of the Cambridge Proficiency Examination. It advises test takers that if they are unsure of the exact word needed but know it is a particular part of speech, like an adjective, they should try thinking of common prefixes and suffixes, such as "ive" or "de", to attempt to arrive at the answer. The document encourages test takers not to give up easily, as they likely know more English than they think.

2. 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.
