The simple fact of the matter is that no one, not even native speakers, has time to read every word of all three passages and answer all 40 questions in the time allowed.

Your success on IELTS Reading comes down to efficient and effective time management.

1. You need strategies!

Learn a simple system of steps for finding the answers. Trust these steps. Practice them.

Once you gain confidence in your strategies, apply them to as much test practice as possible.

2. Know the different question types

Y/N/NG, for instance, is one of the tougher question types. Thus, you will need a bit of extra time to answer them.

Plus, it is not immediately evident how to answer these questions. You must learn and use strategies to master this question type.

Matching headings to paragraphs, on the other hand, should be the fastest question type to answer. You can really save time here.

3. Take 1 minute to skim

You must understand the gist, or main idea, of the passage before you look at the questions.

This saves time. If you go directly to the questions, you will not understand what they are talking about, and you’ll end up reading them more than once.

4. Limit yourself to 1 minute for every answer

Don’t allow yourself to look for an answer for more than one minute. Start timing yourself on your phone.

If you are looking for more than a minute, skip it and go back later.

5. Be comfortable with discomfort

You will almost never be 100% sure of your answers, simply because you don’t have time read and reread.

Again, learn the most efficient strategies, and trust them.\n
