Last-Minute Tips for the IELTS Test – Reading

There is no worse feeling than underperforming in a test that you've prepared so hard for. Take a look at these tips that could prevent that and also sharpen your skills at the very last minute before the actual IELTS Reading exam.

Save time by using key words

You can save time by finding out key words from the questions and focusing only on the contents of the text that are related to those keywords first, rather than reading the passage from the very beginning to the end.

Take only what is on the text into consideration

When working on the TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN or YES/NO/NOT GIVEN task type, avoid using your own subjective ideas and opinions by guessing or inferring information. Instead, choose the answer only by considering objective information retrieved from the text.

Pay attention to highlighting expressions

Proceed with caution upon encountering highlighting expressions. This is because highlighting expressions such as only, always, both, first, never, etc. can drastically change the context of a sentence.

Utilizing reading skills appropriately

Improve your accuracy by using the techniques of skimming and scanning properly.
