The Basics & Detail Questions 🔍

The Format

You will read 2 passages (approx 700 words each) and answer 10 questions per passage. The texts are academic (university level).

Factual Information Questions

These ask for specific details explicitly stated in the text.

Strategy: Identify keywords in the question. Scan the paragraph for those keywords. Compare the sentence in the text with the options.
Trap: Do not choose an answer just because it has words from the text. It must match the meaning.
