  2. Make sure that you understand the questions and follow instructions carefully.
  3. Pay attention to timing; do not spend too long on one passage or question.
  4. Do not try and read every word; remember, you are reading for a purpose which is answering the question. No one is going to judge you on how much you know the passage but on whether you can answer all those questions!
  5. If you do not know the answer to a question, attempt it but do not waste time; move quickly onto the next one.
  6. Do not panic if you do not know anything about the subject of the text; all the answers can be found in the text.
  7. The word(s) you use must be taken from the Reading text; you must not change the form of the word(s) in the text.
  8. Do not worry if there is a word that you do not understand – you may not need to use it.
  9. Check your spelling.  Yes, this is important, because you might have answered it correctly, understood the question well, but if the spelling is wrong, everything can go wrong!! 
  10. Be careful to use singular and plural correctly.
  11. Focus precisely on what you are asked to do in ‘completion’ type questions.
  12. Check your answers. Well, if you are serious about IELTS, make sure that you revise your answers and cross check for their validity!!

READING TEST TIPS

With the reading test, there are no excuses; you can practice reading where you want and when you want. However, the following tips will help you approach the reading test.

1. Just having a very basic gist of what a text is about before you start reading will make it easier to understand. Looking at graphs, tables and any illustrations will often give you a good idea of the topic of the text.

2. Remember – there is no transfer time for the reading test. Make sure you put your answers down on the answer sheet – not the question paper. (See an example of the answer sheet below.)

3. The reading test is designed to be general and designed for people with a variety of educational backgrounds. This means you don’t need any specialist knowledge to understand any of the texts. However, some readings may be more familiar than others.

Reading Test Tips

READING TEST TIPS

1. True / False / Not given questions are by far the most difficult types of question to answer as they are designed to trick people into thinking about the answer and giving their deduction as an answer.

2. Many students are generally very good at reading tests – they are very good at spotting the key words in a question, finding those keywords in a text, reading around the key words and finding the answer to the question. However, as with the listening test, in the IELTS reading test the words in the questions are often not the words you will find in the answer. As a result you have to look for synonyms of key words as well as the actual keywords. Consider a word like ‘correct’ – among others, possible synonyms include:

a. Right
b. Accurate
c. Exact
d. Truthful
e. Spot on
f. Proper
g. Acceptable
h. Accepted

Depending on the context, only some of these synonyms might apply. You need to be aware of for these words as well as the keywords you are looking for. In addition, consider antonyms – words with the opposite meanings. A sentence like ‘It wouldn’t be wrong’ would mean ‘correct’ in certain contexts. As you can see, you will need a fairly deep understanding of vocabulary.
