It
seems the reading test was easy, but the reality it will trick you to
fall into trap of failure. so to prevent that, I give you some tips for
trick that test ๐
Every
IELTS Reading test, no matter Academic or General has tasks of this
kind. Lots of students tell me (and I agree) that this is a very
confusing task :p . For those who have no idea what I am talking about,
Iโll explain โ this task has a statement, and your job is to say whether
or not it is True, False or Not Given according to the reading passage.

Iโll explain โ this task has a statement, and your job is to say whether
or not it is True, False or Not Given according to the reading passage.
How do you โattackโ this question type? First learn the rule:
–ย If the statement clearly appears in the text โ it is True
–ย If the text clearly says the opposite of the statement โ it is False
–ย If you didnโt find the statement to be either True or False โ it is Not Given
Example:
โEating junk food is dangerous and can lead to cancerโ โ T, F, NG
1) If the text clearly says that โEating junk food is dangerous and leads to cancerโ then the answer is T.
2)
If the text says that โNo research showed evidence that Eating junk
food is dangerous and leads to cancerโ then the answer is F.
If the text says that โNo research showed evidence that Eating junk
food is dangerous and leads to cancerโ then the answer is F.
3)
If the text says โThe research included of both genders of ages 30 to
45โณ and nothing else about Eating Junk food โ your answer is NG.
If the text says โThe research included of both genders of ages 30 to
45โณ and nothing else about Eating Junk food โ your answer is NG.
Donโt make these mistakes:
- Donโt assume
anything based on your knowledge and experience, read the text! It is
the oldest trick in the book and they use it a lot in IELTS exams. - Donโt โoverthinkโ your answer โ you could start building long logical sequences that will lead you to the wrong answer.
The
reading test required accuracy and time efficiency so that the time
spent was not wasted. The core of the reading test is calm and
carefulness in reading the given problem and no-movement wasted. And
below is a short step to understand the reading test :
reading test required accuracy and time efficiency so that the time
spent was not wasted. The core of the reading test is calm and
carefulness in reading the given problem and no-movement wasted. And
below is a short step to understand the reading test :
- Leave a question if you canโt answer. To spend a long time on one
answer is disastrous. Go back later if you have time and guess if you
have too.Remember you do not lose marks for wrong answers. - Donโt panic if you donโt know anything about the passage. All the
answers are in the passage and you donโt need any specialist knowledge. - Remember you have no extra time to transfer your answers, many
candidates think because they have extra time in listening they are able
to do this in reading too. You canโt. - Before the exam read as widely as possible e.g. Newspapers, magazines,
journals. Donโt limit yourself to one type of text and read articles
with an academic style where possible. - Look at ways paragraphs are organized.
- Try and predict content of paragraph from the opening sentence.
- Give a paragraph you read an imaginary heading.
- Donโt concentrate on words you donโt know. It is fatal and wastes valuable time.
- Careless mistakes cost many marks. Copy the answer correctly if it is in the passage.
- Check spelling.
- Only give one answer if that is all thatโs needed.
- Be careful with singular/plural.
