What you can practise
- Multiple choice: read the question before weighing each option against the passage.
- Choose multiple answers: assess every option independently and select all that apply.
- Re-order Paragraphs: look for topic sentences, references and a logical sequence.
- Fill in the Blanks: consider meaning, grammar and common word combinations.
A useful way to study
Begin with a short passage and identify its main idea. After answering, return to the text and find the evidence for your choice. Keep a small vocabulary list with example phrases, then revisit similar questions to check your understanding.
Turn review into your next step
Use answer review to compare your choices and inspect partial marks where available. A wrong answer can point to a vocabulary gap, an overlooked detail or a misunderstanding of the question. Review that cause before trying another set.
