  1. Matching headings: the main idea, not a detailMatch a heading to a paragraph by its main idea: a five-step method, the point after a turn such as in fact, and the four traps that catch many learners.9 min
  2. Matching information: which paragraph says it?Find the paragraph that holds a reason, a comparison, a condition or an example, and match statements to the people who made them. Scan for the kind of sentence, not the same words.9 min
  3. Summary completion: from the passage or a boxFill the gaps in a summary with words from the text or from a box: keep to the word limit, predict the kind of word, find the paraphrase and check the grammar.9 min
  4. Yes, No, Not Given: what the writer thinksDecide whether a statement matches the writer’s views. Spot opinion signals, keep other people’s views apart from the writer’s, and tell No from Not Given.9 min
  5. Timing: 60 minutes, 3 passages, 40 questionsPlan the Reading test’s 60 minutes across three passages and 40 questions, know when to move on, fill every box, then try a mixed set of question types.11 min
