How to practise reading

  • Re-order Paragraphs is scored on adjacent pairs, so locking the first two boxes correctly already banks marks.

  • In Multiple Choice with multiple answers, a wrong selection subtracts. Only select what you can justify from the text.

  • Fill in the Blanks rewards collocation knowledge more than grammar — read widely, note word partnerships.
