Stage 1

In the first stage for each of the 3 reading parts, the teacher will talk you through how to understand the texts efficiently and effectively. We’re not worried about time at this stage; just skill-building and technique-development - both aspects which are instrumental to scoring well on test day.

- Practise test-taking techniques such as

• skimming and scanning
• activating schema
• top-down and bottom-up skills
• intensive reading and
• critical thinking

- Learn:

• how to anticipate the type of answer required
• how to avoid distractors
• how to differentiate between main and supporting ideas
• how to understand gist and global meanings

Stage 2

In Stage Two you’ll get some guidance to point you in the right direction, but you’ll be timed and get a chance to answer the questions yourself before going through the answers with the teacher.

Stage 3

Stage Three - and it’s over to you. Download the test and answer the questions under exam conditions by yourself. Check the answers and see how you’ve scored.
