*Common question 5*

*Ielts reading: How to manage your time*
This answer is bit lengthy but please read it this will help you,I've also mentioned the tips which may help you.

The IELTS Reading test consists of 40 questions, designed to test a wide range of reading skills. These include reading for gist, reading for main ideas, reading for detail, skimming, understanding logical argument and recognising writers' opinions, attitudes and purpose.

You will get similar question types in both the IELTS General Training and Academic tests, however, the reading text topics are different.

Managing your time in the test is important as you only have 60 minutes to answer 40 questions. It is always recommended to spend no more than 20 minutes on each part of the Reading test, however, if you find the first passage easy, you may finish it in a shorter time, allowing you more time to answer questions in the next two passages. The passages get harder as you move through the test, so make sure you keep enough time to tackle the final passage.

*_General Training Reading_*
The IELTS General Training Reading passages are extracts from materials that you can find on a day-to-day basis in an English-speaking country. The questions in this section will test your ability to understand content present in everyday materials such as:
Newspapers,Advertisements,Handbooks & Notices.

To become more familiar with these text types, do practice. By familiarising yourself with a range of texts and question types before test day, you will be able to manage your time better as you will be better prepared.

*_Academic Reading_*

The IELTS Academic test is used for university admissions and professional registrations around the world, so the questions in this section will test your ability to understand content present in academic materials.
To prepare for test day, make sure you read a range of texts on different topics from:
Books,Journals,Magazines and Newspapers.

When you have experience with reading a range of different text types, you will be able to focus more on the questions linked to each text type.

*Question types (Academic and General Training)*

You can expect a variety of question types in the General and Academic Reading tests such as:

✒️Multiple choice
✒️Identifying information
✒️Identifying a writer's views/claims
✒️Matching information
✒️Matching headings
✒️Matching features
✒️Matching sentence endings
✒️Sentence completion
✒️Summary, note, table, flow-chart completion
✒️Diagram label completion
✒️Short-answer questions

To ensure you can accurately answer a range of question types in the 60 minutes, you will need to manage your time. Take a look at the following advice on how you can manage your time during the IELTS Reading test.

*_*Tips to manage time_**

🔷 _Skim through the passage_
Your Reading test will have 3 different reading passages. You can quickly skim through the entire passage to understand the gist. Do not spend time reading every sentence in detail as this can be time consuming and unnecessary. Focus on headings, sub headings and look for main points that describe the passage. This will help later with finding answers.

🔷 _Pay attention to the introduction and conclusion_
The author's point of view is often expressed in the introduction and conclusion. You can answer most questions correctly when you read these two sections of the reading passage. Skim through the body of the passage after you thoroughly go through the introduction and conclusion.

🔷 _Identify key words_
A key word will help you identify the concept associated with the passage. Identify these key words and underline or highlight them when you skim through the passage. This can help you answer most questions that follow the passage.

🔷 _Read all questions before you begin answering_
Before you begin answering, have a quick look at all the questions first. Remember that questions appear in groups of 3, or 4, or more, so read that group of questions before studying the text. Make sure to highlight the key information words in your questions and since you have already skimmed through the passage and identified key words, it will make it easier to find your answers.

🔷 _Answer every question_
Remember to answer every question even if you cannot find the answer or option. If you are running out of time, remember that you will not lose a mark if the answer is wrong, so make an educated guess and you may get the answer right.

🔷 _Check your answers_
Checking your answers can help you improve your IELTS Reading score. Make sure that you answer all the questions and allocate at least 20 minutes for checking. You can use the practice materials available on our website and time yourself to perfection.

The IELTS Reading section can be intimidating for test takers however, prior preparation and time management can make the difference between an average score and a great one.

🔰10 tips for getting a score of 8 in IELTS.

1️⃣ Interact with native speakers as much as possible and listen to how they talk and the way they use words and phrases.

2️⃣ Listen carefully and write down new words you hear (ie. in the news) and check the pronunciation and articulation. Use them for your Speaking and Writing tests.

3️⃣ Expand your vocabulary as much as you can. Don’t rely on simple and basic words. Use complex words and phrases especially in your Speaking test.

4️⃣ Take the hardest tests you can find online or in books; it’ll make any questions you encounter in the real test seem easy.

5️⃣ Familiarize yourself with different accents, especially British, American and Australian. My speaking examiner had an Australian accent and as I was familiar with the accent from childhood it didn’t stop me from getting a 9 in Speaking.

6️⃣ Don’t let the blank expression of the examiner’s face fool you, just be sure to do your best.

7️⃣ Everybody knows their weaknesses. I worked on my strengths, knowing I had a better chance in increasing my score in the fields I was already good at. There’s usually not that much time to work on core issues.

8️⃣ Take advantage of YouTube videos. There are videos for every aspect of the exam. Many of them have good information. If they sound too easy, move on to the harder ones.

9️⃣ Learn as much as you can by listening and reading about subjects you enjoy. It’ll make everything so much more fun and pleasurable.

🔟 Learning is a life-long process. I’m even more eager to expand my knowledge in English, having already taken the exam.

I hope everybody does their best in the exam. It’s 50% knowledge and 50% test-taking skills!

Good luck to all my dear friends.

Winston Churchill said : "I took the taxi one day and went to the BBC office for an interview ... and when I arrived I asked the driver to wait for me for forty minutes until I got back! But the driver apologized and said 'I can't because I have to go home to listen to Winston Churchill's speech' ... Churchill says he was amazed and delighted with this man's desire to listen to his conversation! So Churchill took ten pounds and gave to the taxi driver without telling the driver who he was. When he collected the money he said: "I'll wait hours until you come back, sir! And let Churchill go to hell! *Principles have been modified against money* . *Nations* were *sold for money, Honor* was *sold for money.* *Brothers* were *sold for money* . *Families* were *split for the money* . *Friends* have been *separated for the money* . *People* were *killed for the money*!
Who gave so much power to money and made people their slaves?
