  • Write a report in response to different types of graphs

TIP 1 : Write more than the minimum word limit

Practice increasing word count to a minimum of 150 words within the given time

  • Practice summarizing and analyzing the data while sticking to the minimum word count within the time limit.
  • Try not to focus on details too much; rather, write 150 words to 200 words, concentrating on the main points
TIP 2 : Grouping Data

The graphs on the exam always have certain patterns, so start analyzing the lowest values and the highest values of the graphs

  • Identify the patterns by dividing them into groups
  • It is important to know the criteria used for comparison
  • Group the lowest values and the highest values as a paragraph and analyze the rest of the data
TIP 3 : Analyze the most noticeable features first

Important features are usually noticeable, so identify the main features before anything else

  • Mark the obvious features first and group them.
  • Practice to include other features at the end of the body paragraph
TIP 4 : Improving grammatical range

Improve grammatical skills to connect simple sentences into one sentence

  • Practice using relative pronouns or relative adverbs in sentence composition
