READING PART 5 Multiple choice: how to do it

• The questions follow the order of the test.
• Read the text for gist first. Don't worry if you don't understand every word, but try to get an idea of how the text is organised.
• Read the question or question stems without looking at the options. Underline key words in the question stem. Mark the piece of text where this question is answered.
• Read this piece of text carefully, underlining key words and phrases. Try to find your own answer to the question. Then, read the options (A, B, C or D) and choose the one which is closest to your own answer.
• Check that the other options are all definitely wrong. If you're still unsure, see which of these options can be ruled out and why.

NB In this part each correct answer is worth two marks.
