Learn each verb with its preposition

The most frequent P1 slips are prepositions: غَنِيٌّ بِـ (not مِنْ), يَفْتَقِرُ إِلَى (not بِـ), يُعَانِي مِنْ (not بِـ). Store the preposition with the verb, as a single unit, so the correct one comes automatically in speech.

2
Use the conditional without being asked

In the topic conversation, Q3 and Q5 reward a Type 1 conditional. The mark comes from producing إِذَا … سَـ spontaneously: إِذَا نَظَّمْتُ وَقْتِي، سَأُقَلِّلُ الضَّغْطَ الدِّرَاسِيَّ. Rehearse it until it is automatic.
