- Read through the text (you are going to work on) fast first to have an overall picture of it.
- Skim through the questions written to the particular text.
- Go back to the text and read it again, carefully, searching for the part of the text that may have the answer to the questions.
- Look for key words/phrases in the text that may help you answer the questions.
- Do not automatically choose the answer that contains vocabulary items identical with ones in the text.
- If you cannot answer a question, exclude all the options from among the answers that are definitely incorrect, and then try to choose one from what is left.
- If you still cannot answer a question, go on to the following one. It is better to miss one answer than to miss all the rest.
- Do not spend more than ten minutes on one text so that you will have enough time for the remaining - and probably more difficult - text(s), too.
- When sentences or clauses are removed from the text, try one of the following:
- Use your knowledge of grammar /sentence structure to decide which option fits in the text.
- Identify and match references in the text and the removed sentences/clauses.
- Use your knowledge of the world and/or the context.
