Section 1: Getting ready to read
Now you are familiar with Section 1 of the General Training Reading Test. This includes:
- text types
- question types
- introduction to reading skills - skimming and scanning.
How should you approach each text and question set? Look at these steps.
- Step 1: Survey the text quickly. Look at the title, subheadings, pictures, captions and
any other clues that help you to understand the text quickly, read the first
and last paragraph, look at the overall organisation of the text, read the first
line of every paragraph. What is the text about?
- Step 2: Skim the instructions and questions. Are you familiar with the question type?
- Step 3: Read the text again if the questions require it. Scan the text if the question requires just a word or number.
- Step 4: Answer the questions.
Optional: transfer your answers to the answer sheet immediately. Check spelling and
grammatical accuracy as you go.
