IELTS Academic Reading Test consists of three sections or reading passages (between 700 to 950 words each) that you’ll have to answer in a time frame of 60 minutes. There is a set of 12-to-14 questions in each passage and this makes a total of 40 questions in the Reading examination.
Each question carries 1 mark and there is still NO negative marking in 2024.
Practically, it is extremely difficult to read and understand every line of the passage when you’re racing against time. That’s why, scanning, skimming, predicting, and eliminating wrong answer techniques are quintessential to quickly finding the right answers to these questions.
You are allowed to mark and make notes in your reading question booklet or you can highlight any text in the passage in Computer-deliver IELTS. Remember, You have to write your answers in the given time only i.e. 1 hour.
Unlike Listening, NO extra time will be given to transfer the answers on the answer sheet.
In Academic Reading, the three reading passages generally vary in difficulty with first passage being the easiest while third is comparatively difficult. The questions require candidates to find information from the passages, and one of the passages may need interpretation of the writer’s opinions.
