The Reading component consists of 40 questions. A variety of question types are used in order to test a wide range of reading skills. These include reading for gist, reading for main ideas, reading for detail, skimming, understanding logical argument, recognizing writers’ opinions and purpose.

Q-1 How long should I spend on each section?

• Section 1 contains 14 questions, and sections 2 and 3 have 13 questions each. Each question carries 1 mark, and you should answer all questions. Remember to leave enough time for section 3, which is usually more difficult than sections 1 and 2.

Q-2 Will I lose marks for spelling and grammar mistakes in my answers?

• All the words you will need in order to answer the questions will be given in the text. Remember to transfer your answers to the answer sheet with care. You will lose marks for poor spelling and grammar.

Q-3 How do I record my answer?

• You must put all of your answers on an answer sheet during the 60 minutes allowed. You may write your answers on the questions paper first if you like, but the examiner will not read these. No extra time is allowed to copy answers to the answer sheet.

Q-4When the instructions say that I should answer in, for example, ‘ NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS’, will I lose marks if I write an answer with more than three words?

• Yes, answers which are over the word limit will be marked as incorrect.
