IELTS READING TEST

1. Locating information
This task gives you a number of statements that contain information from the passage and you
have to decide which paragraph from the passage contains this information of the statement. This
task is very similar to a “Matching Headings” task but in this case, we don’t get titles (headings)
of paragraphs, just information that is contained in the paragraphs.

Common Problems

The biggest problem is the fact that you need to look at the whole text. The answers could be
anywhere in the text and they do not come in order, so it takes time.

Also, the answers might not be the main idea of each paragraph. Normally paragraphs contain
one main idea and reading the first and last lines of the paragraph can help you understand this.
With these questions, the answer could be in any part of the paragraph and you cannot therefore
just quickly skim to find it.

There is also lots of irrelevant information that you do not need to consider. The strategy below
will help you ignore much of this irrelevant information.

Tips

1. Do this question last. If you do other questions first, you will become familiar with the
passage and this will help you identify the correct information more quickly and easily.
2. Try to find names, place names and numbers in the questions. These are often easier to find
in the text.
3. Be aware that there may be synonyms. For example, you might see ‘34%‘ in the question
but it might say ‘just over a third‘ or ‘about a third‘ in the text.
4. There will normally be more paragraphs than questions, so don’t worry if some of the
paragraphs do not contain an answer. Sometimes, some paragraphs contain more than one
answer and you may have to use the paragraph twice.

Strategy

1. Underline Key words in the question to locate the information in the passage.

Key words (1-3 words)

a) Proper Nouns → Name, Country, City , Organization which start with Capital letters
b) Period or number → 1980, 18th Century, 30%
c) Long words → E.g. deforestation, desertification, industrialization, etc.

2. Scan the text paragraphs you think might contain the answer for synonyms (Key words). If
you find a possible answer underline it.
3. Quickly skim the reading text to try to understand the general meaning of the text.
4. Read the question statements again and predict which paragraph contains the answer.
5. Check back with the question statement and mark the answer if correct. If not, move on to
other paragraphs.

2. Note Completion
Note completion questions test your ability to understand details and/or the main ideas of a
section of the passage.

• You’ll be asked to complete a set of notes with words from the passage.
• The answers don’t necessarily occur in order in the passage but will usually come from
one part of the passage rather than being spread across the entire passage.

Tips

Step 1  Underline Key words in the question to locate the information in the passage.
Step 2  Predict Grammar words in each gap/blank.
↓
(Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun, Number,…)

3. Global Multiple Choice Question

An IELTS Reading Global Multiple Choice Question tests your understanding of the overall
meaning or the main theme of a passage.

They usually ask about the main idea or the summary or the appropriate title for the passage,
where you have to make the best choice from four options.

You can differentiate a global multiple choice question from other types of multiple choice
questions. A global multiple choice question appears as single separate question – there is
only one such question in a passage, whereas other multiple choice questions come in
groups.

Additionally, a global multiple choice question is always the last question in any given
passage.

Tips

1. In academic texts, the last paragraph or the conclusion paragraph is almost always a
summary of the main points made in the text. So, an IELTS Reading Global Multiple
Choice Question can be solved by reading the last paragraph only.

2. As global multiple choice questions always appear at the end, you will have to read the
passage for other questions beforehand.
