Reading question types to train

Prioritize recurring traps: headings, matching information, multiple choice, summary completion, and true/false/not-given decisions.

  • Scan for location before choosing.
  • Watch for synonyms and paraphrase.
  • Review why wrong answers felt tempting.

FAQ

Questions students ask before they start

How do I improve IELTS Reading quickly?

Take one timed test, identify the question type that costs the most marks, then drill that type before taking another full test.

Are answers enough to improve?

No. Answers tell you what was wrong; explanations and review tell you why the wrong option was attractive.
