Speed Reading for IELTS
Time management is crucial in the IELTS Reading test. You have 60 minutes to answer 40 questions across 3 passages.
Key Techniques
- Skimming - Get the gist of each paragraph quickly by reading first and last sentences
- Scanning - Locate specific information efficiently using keywords
- Keyword identification - Underline key terms as you read to build a mental map
Time Allocation
Spend no more than 20 minutes per passage. If a question takes longer than 90 seconds, mark it and move on.
