Tips for better scanning
• Don't try to read every word. Instead,
let your eyes move quickly across the
page until you find what you're looking
for.
• Look for keywords and synonyms of
keywords in the question e.g.
challenges / problems / difficulties' or
'advantages / benefits'.
• Use clues on the page, such as
headings and titles, to help you.

Factual accuracy
When changing information into your
TITLE B
own words and trying to reduce their
number, there is a danger that you
may express something in a way that
is no longer strictly true; for example
TITLE C
‘the majority of the island’ is not the
same as ‘most of the island’. You need
to be careful that you have not
changed the meaning, of the passage

or the information it gives.

All the rest of that day I spent in afflicting myself at
the dismal circumstances I was brought to, viz. I had
neither food, house, clothes, weapon, or place to fly to;
I walked about the shore almost all day to find out a place
to fix my habitation, greatly concerned to secure myself
from an attack in the night, either from wild beasts or men.
Towards night I fixed upon a proper place under a rock, and
marked out a semicircle for my encampment, which I
resolved to strengthen with a work, wall, or fortification.
