very useful tipsSummary of IELTS Reading True False Not Given Tips
Below is a list of the main Tips for IELTS True False Not Given Reading Questions. However, you should watch the video to understand them clearly for maximum benefit.
- Spend time analysing the statement in the question before you try to find the answer
- Many words will be paraphrased so watch out for that (for example, work = employment / changing = altering)
- Don’t match just key words, you are aiming to match meaning. Some of the key words might be the same in the passage but it doesn’t mean the answer is true or yes.
- The meaning of false or no is that the statement contradicts the claims or information in the passage. This means the statement gives one meaning but the passage gives another meaning – therefore the statement is FALSE.
- Not Given means that the whole meaning of the statement is not in the passage. Some key words might be found but not the full meaning of the statement.
- You can write T instead of True on your answer sheet but make sure your handwriting is clear.
- The answers follow the order of information in the passage for these questions. Other types of reading questions might not have answers that come in order.
- Learn common challenges or problems that you have in reading. Make a list of paraphrases you have struggled with.
