Isifundo Sokuqondisisa
When attempting comprehension questions, it is very important to take time and read the passage
carefully.

1 Read for understanding

2. Do not memorize
You do not need to memorize every word present in the passage. Understanding the flow, structure and
the main points in the passage should be your priority. For factual or specific point questions, you can
always re-read the passage.

3. Do not spend time on RCs that you cannot comprehend at first

At times we come across a passage that we are not able to comprehend. If you are struggling with one
such passage in the exam, make sure you have the patience to avoid such a passage. Focus on the ones
that you can manage easily. Go back to the tricky passage in case of absolute necessity.

4 Read the questions

Always go through the questions first and then the passage. This will prepare you to focus on the things
you need to look in the passage. Focus only on the questions, and not on a particular answer option. A
quick overview of the questions is sufficient.
