PAPER 1: READING (1 HOUR) 30 questions in total to answer – 40 points in total
Part 3: MULTIPLE MATCHING - find specific information in a text or group of texts - (15 questions) 15 marks
Tips to remember while in the exam
- Read each text at least twice. Three times if you are not sure.
- Read the texts first before reading the questions. Know what type of the text you are dealing with and establish (underline/indicate with the relevant question number) where each bit of information is situated.
- Read the question and skim back over the text (or texts) to look for selections that match the questions.
- When you find a section that you feel matches a question, re-read the section in detail checking that its meaning is exactly the same as the meaning of the questions. Don’t “word spot”.
- When doing this section, time yourself well. Take no more than 16 minutes to complete it. You need to learn the art of reading quickly.
At the end of this part of the test:
- There will be many clocks around the room for you to keep track of the time in the test.
- A whiteboard will indicate the start and finish times so you can keep track of the time during the test.
- Keep a close eye on your performance and stick to the timings that you have learnt during pre-testing.
- Once you have finished answering all the questions, you must quickly transfer your all answers to your answer sheet.
- You will need at least 5 minutes to transfer all your answers to the answer sheet before you finish the test.
- You will be informed when 5 minutes remain for you to complete your test.
- Once the five-minute time is up, and the test has ended, the invigilators will tell you:
"That is the end of the test!"
- Follow their instructions and pens down at that time.
- Once you have been instructed to finish, place your pens down quickly. If you fail to follow this instruction, you may be disqualified.
- Wait for the interlocutor to come round and pick up your question and answer sheet.
