60 minutes, 3 passages, 40 questions โ Reading is about rhythm and strategy, not vocabulary size. Spend the minutes where they pay.
After logging in, check your name, photo and subject on screen. Don't rush to start until everything matches.
All 60 minutes, answers are clicked or typed directly on screen โ no answer-sheet transfer.
Passages aren't always in rising difficulty. Easy one first, bank the safe marks.
Built-in highlight, notes and timer โ highlight locator words; it beats pen on paper.
Usually the easiest. Take it down quickly and confirm answers as you go.
Harder. Skip long sentences at first pass; return with locator words.
Longest, hardest. Protect accuracy; keep 2 minutes for a final check.
TRUE / FALSE / NOT GIVEN depends on evidence in the passage, not common sense. NOT GIVEN = not stated.
Underline locators (names, numbers) in the question, then find that zone in the text. Never read line by line.
Mark keywords in the options first, then scan the passage with them in mind โ far faster.
Answers go straight on screen, no transfer step. Highlight as you locate to stay oriented.
First and last sentences of paragraphs usually carry the main idea โ structure first, details later.
Most question types follow the passage order โ find question 1 and follow the thread.
If a word doesn't affect locating, skip it and infer from context and paraphrase.
Stuck over 2 minutes? Guess and move on โ spend the time where marks are winnable.
