The reading test of the IELTS is considered one of the most difficult because there are 40 questions developed in 3 long sections and also because you have an exact time to do it.
One of the principal recomendations is to practice for improving your reading skills and speed.
The development of the test depends of your skills in Scanning and Skimming.
- Scanning is what one does; You scan the passage to quickly find the information mentioned in the question. Once you find it, you get the answer from the passage and write it against the question.
- Skimming refers to reading a paragraph quickly to get an idea of what it is about, without trying to understand its details.
Knowing this, another recommendation is answer the questions one by one with the help of the underlined parts of the text. Having read the text once, you will find it easy to find specific information by scanning.
Also is important that you read the instructions for each question very carefully. If the question specifies that you must not use more than three words in your answer, stick to three words.
Finally, as the last recommendation, don't get stuck on any one question. If you can't get the answer, move on. You can always come back later.
