Key Points –

About

In this part of the test, you’ll read a passage with about 100 words. Then, there’s a question with some choices. You have to pick the right choice based on what’s in the passage. Usually, there’s one or two questions like this.

Tips

  • Each Reading MCQ (Single) question comes with one passage and only one question to answer. Test takers should read the passage and understand its main points within just 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Reading Multiple Choice (Single Answer) doesn’t give too many points, so you don’t need to focus on them a lot when preparing. The most important thing is managing your time well. Make sure to finish each question like this within 1 or 2 minutes. Spending too much time here might take away time from other important questions like Fill in the Blanks.

Time Period

  • In the Reading Section, there’s only one timer for all the questions. So, the more time you spend on one question, the less time you’ll have for the others.
  • It’s best to answer these questions quickly to have enough time for the Fill in the Blanks (FIB) questions, which are more important.
  • If you’re really confident about your answer, you can spend up to 1.5 minutes on a question. But if you’re not sure, try to spend just 1 minute to make a quick choice among the options.
