We have put down the strategies for you to help you score higher in the reading section of IELTS. We are very sure that these will help you a lot.

Focus on improving your English and reading instead of focusing on IELTS readings.

IELTS Reading is not like Math where you can practice one particular question and hope that the same might get asked in the exam. Hence, focusing on a particular reading is not the right approach. Instead, identify your English errors of grammar and improve there to help you do better in understanding the passages. Reading has skills like skimming and scanning involved along with close reading. Develop these skills.

Look out for comparison words and synonyms in your text.

Words like almost, some, few, or all can trick your mind. Make sure you do not fall into that trap and understand the exact meaning of the question. When you identify the keywords, remember that the same words need not necessarily be in the text so always gather some synonyms in your mind and look out for synonyms while scanning.

There is no transfer time so write answers directly on the answer sheet.

Unlike the Listening test, there is no transfer time here hence make sure you do not write answers on the question paper and write them straight to the answer sheet. However, you are allowed to mark and make notes on the question paper.
