The answer is – you don’t. IELTS reading is not about remembering what you have Reading
read or what each paragraph contains. August 16, 2019

Comprehension August 14, 2019
How can I understand everything if the passage is long and difficult?
The answer is – you don’t. IELTS reading is not about understanding everything. It
is about locating answers.
IELTS Reading Tips

When you first get your reading passage, you should skim read it. This means you
cast your eyes over the passage to get to know the general topic and content as well
as to see the general layout of the passage. This should take about 2 minutes. You
are not aiming to understand it, you just want to see what the passage is about
before you tackle the questions.
After you skim read the passage, you go straight to the questions. Pay a ention to
what type of question type it is and remember your techniques and tips for that
particular question type. Find a key word or information in the question to help
you locate the answer. You scan the passage by casting your eyes over the words to
locate the key information from the question. This should be done with speed to
spot a word or piece of information rather than understand each sentence. Once
you locate the place in the passage that contains the answer, you read the sentences
before and after to find your answer. This means you only need to understand
those few sentences. Then you move to the next question and do the same. You
don’t need to understand the whole passage at all.
Reading Techniques & Strategies

1. skim the passage (read quickly to get general content and layout)
2. read the questions
3. identify the type of question
4. remember your techniques and tips for that question type
https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-reading-tips-strategies-and-comprehension/ 1/19
5. find a key word or information in the question to help you locate the answer
in the passage
6. scan the passage by passing your eyes over the paragraphs to find the key
word or information from the question
7. when you find the location, read the sentences before and after
8. always read around the answer to check other information
9. try to understand the few sentences around the location of the answer
10. when you find the answer, move to the next question
11. don’t spend too long trying to find one answer
12. remember that each answer is only worth one point

hi liz,
first thanks for all your help,
i have one question .. in case of TFNG , HEADING MATCHING types of question what
would be be er ?
1. read one que. then find answer
or
2. read all que then look for ans?
plz reply my exam in few days after
Reply
Liz says
Both question types have different techniques. For matching headings, you
skim read the headings and then focus on one to find the answer. You don’t need to
start with the first one. Just start with the one you think will be easiest to find. With
matching headings, you do not need to skim read the passage first. For TFNG, you
should skim read the passage first, and then read the first question only and try to find
the answer. The answers will come in order for TFNG.

rather than British. For instance: color – colour or programme -program

I had go en L: 5.5, R: 5.5, S: 6.5 and W: 5 three years ago. Nowadays, due to
my practice in Reading and Listening I think my score is around 5.5 yet. when I am doing
sample tests I usually find the location of answer correctly but sometime select wrong
answer and I think one of my fault is because of not concentrate in reading. Another
problem about my practice is refer to my speed in reading texts. Do you have any
solution for my these problems. In addition, how much should I training to achieve 6.5
score? Is It very difficult for me to get this score as I describe my condition.

Dear Liz
Unfortunately, IELTS Test usually begins with speaking, and you realize well, dear, that
speaking is much more difficult than reading. Why do not the examiners start by the
easiest skills in English, namely; reading and writing? Since the initial performance will
have deep effect on the spirit.

The speaking test is given sometimes before listening, reading and writing,

There is an art to reading. I’ve also had some trouble with T/F/NG and
Y/N/NG and have arrived at the following. True/False is factual statements
made in the passage. Yes/No is that from the author/writer of the article/passage. I
hope this helps. I would also hate it when the first T/F or Y/N is really a NG.

Dear Liz,
I quite appreciate you for your time in analyzing the various tips to a successful IELTS
test. I’ve actually sat for the exam once and ended up with a band 6 though I wasn’t
privileged to view your site for proper preparation. My major problem was in Listening
and Reading especially the last 20 questions. For the Listening, I got confused with the
sound of the various speakers and for the Reading, I was dazed with a long passage and
difficulty in identifying the answers in the passage even when I tried to read the entire
passage. Need your counsel.
Kind Regards.
Liz Harry.
Reply
Liz says
For reading, you should not be reading the entire passage in order to
understand it for any question other than matching headings. Skim reading takes no
more than 2 mins and is not aimed at understanding. Your goal is to analyse the
questions as much as you can and then locate answers using key words. For listening,
you need to get the IELTS Cambridge test books and other practice test books to
improve section 3. You will get more comfortable with it as you practice more. Make
sure your practice is aimed at specific sections and you are not just doing full test after
full test.
All the best

Just tell me the reason that why GT candidates are not achieving their desired
bands or they have their own examiners who mark them strictly. I want to tell you that I
know about GT marking in reading that it is different from AC but that’s another issue
my problem is that they correct 34 to 37 in approximately 10 to 15 our institute practice
tests but in real council exam they can’t even achieve 6 bands in reading the same is the
case for all modules in GT.
Reply
Liz says
You would need to review the type of test you gave your students as their
practice test in your school. Was the practice test from one of the IELTS Cambridge
books from 1 to 10? Which book?
I am actually unclear which skill you are referring to. All students take the same
speaking test that has the same scoring and the same examiners. The examiners don’t
even know who is doing GT and who is doing academic because it is irrelevant for
speaking. For writing, scoring might be different with practice tests done at your school
unless they are marked by an ex-examiner. Only ex-examiners can mark accurately.
Take time to think about where the problems lie.

All the best

The main techniques involve ge ing to know each type of question in

listening so that you have a clear strategy. Being able to hear paraphrases and listening
out for the answer being altered – so always keep listening even if you think you heard
the answer. Also being good a spo ing key words in questions and options for
multiple choice. Did you take a look at the listening section on this blog? Watch the 25
tips video and then look through the MCQ video as well. I’ll put up more tips over

July 20, 2015 at 6:14 pm
The key is identifying different types of key words. Make a note of which
words in the sentence you are likely to hear – these are words that can’t be
paraphrased. Make a note of key words that show the types of answer – a noun, verb,
adjective etc. Then look at words which can be paraphrased – common verbs, common
nouns. It sounds like a lot to do in a short time but with practice these things become
second nature. Sentence completion questions come in order so notice the order of
information when you are preparing and move quickly to the next question. Also be
realistic, you are more likely to get 8 out of 10 in section 2 than in section 4.
I hope that helps

Liz says
July 21, 2015 at 11:06 am
Yes, it’s the same techniques for both reading and listening. Words that
can’t be paraphrased easily or you know you will hear, can help you identify the
sentence(s) which contains the answer. Paraphrasing skills help you understand
the answer. Knowing if you need a noun, verb or adj or name will help you find
the correct answer. So, you need all three skills.

Thanks very much for your invaluable, interesting and free tips and explanations

However, I believe that if you could posts videos or short courses on reading tips,
especially the ” which paragraph contains information”, it would be grateful, as this
might be the most challenging exercise I’ve ever seen.
Please continue your very informative style of teaching which I think makes your blog the
most successful ones among all the other IELTS sites, and this opinion has come after a
thorough comparison of a couple of other web pages dealing with IELTS.
