How to Do Well in IELTS Reading
A huge nber of candidates think IELTS Reading is all about speed, but actually, it’s more about strategy and understanding. Let’s see how you can do better...
1️ Understand the Question Types
IELTS reading এ প্রায় ১৪ ধরনের question থাকে — যেমন True/False/Not Given, Matching Headings, Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blanks ইত্যাদি.
For Example:
If the passage says “Some scientists believe the earth’s temperature will rise,”
and the question asks, “All scientists agree that temperature will rise,” —
✅ The answer is False, because not all scientists agree.
2️Don’t Try to Read Every Word:
পুরাত্মটা passage পড়লে সময় শেষ হয়ে যাবে
Instead, learn to skim for main idea and scan for specific information)
👉 Practice finding names, years, or keywords quickly.
3️ Underline Keywords
Question পড়ার সময় key words mark করে রাখো —
যেমন: date, number, place, researcher’s name, or any unusual word.
এগুলোই তোমাকে উত্তর খুঁজে পেতে সাহায্য করবে।
4️. Improve Your Vocabulary
IELTS Reading = Vocabulary test too!
Try reading newspapers, magazines, or academic blogs daily.
For example:
Learn synonyms like “rapidly = quickly = swiftly” or “cause = lead to = result in.”
5️. Time Management
You have 60 minutes for 40 questions.
Plan like this:
• Passage 1 → 15 mins
• Passage 2 → 20 mins
• Passage 3 → 25 mins
Binus Tip: Don’t leave any question blank — there’s no negative marking.
💬 Remember, IELTS Reading is not about reading fast — it’s about reading smart.
Practice with Cambridge Books regularly, and review your mistakes carefully.
