The IELTS Academic Reading Test has three sections (or three reading passages) that you’ll have to answer within an hour. Each reading passage will come with 13-14 questions, and three reading passages will have 40 questions (sometimes 41) in total. Each question carries 1 mark. For each correct answer, you will get one mark.
You can’t read the whole reading passage and then answer the questions – this way, you will soon run out of time! You need to use the “scanning, skimming, guessing, eliminating wrong answer”, etc, techniques to find the answers to these questions and answer them within an hour. You are allowed to mark and make notes in your reading question booklet, but you will have to write your answers on the answer sheet. No extra time will be given to transfer the answer. Each section of the Academic Reading Test contains one long text or reading passage. These texts/passages are taken from books, journals, magazines, and newspapers.
