Answering Properly # Reading Section
Reading section is often the most difficult section, for students. What makes it more difficult is although you know the answer, it is very important that you answer it properly. After all, you are marked on the basis of what you have answered, rather than whether you knew the answer or not. For today, let us have a look at how to answer in reading section and gain all the marks.
- STYLE MATTERS- Yes, the way you answer the question must be similar to the way it has been given in the example. For instance, if in the example the answer is given as 34%, your answer must be given as a number, followed by percentage. If you answer as simply 34 or 34 percent, chances are that you may lose some marks.
- WORD LIMIT- Often in questions a word limit is given for answering the question. Even prepositions and articles are counted as words. Make sure you answer within the word limit, if you exceed it, you may lose some marks.
- APPROPRIATE ANSWER- Often while reading a passage you may find details, that could fit in the question of an answer. Sometimes it so happens that the question is asking for just one of the options available in the passage. If you answer more than one,( just because they are given), you may surely lose marks.
So, go on, read the passage properly, but more importantly, answer them properly.
