Overview

What this course is

The Reading paper does not test whether you understand every sentence; it tests whether you can find the right place fast. This course follows that order: first skimming and scanning, and only then the individual question types. Each question type comes with a fixed procedure, demonstrated on a real passage and then handed over for you to work alone. The last part of the course is given entirely to splitting time across three passages — the single biggest source of lost marks at band 5.5–6.0.

Right for

This course suits

  • Learners around band 4.0–6.5 aiming for 6.5 in Reading
  • Learners who understand the text but never finish three passages in time
  • Learners losing heavily on True/False/Not Given and Matching Headings

Outcomes

What you will be able to do

  • Skim a passage for its main ideas in under three minutes
  • Pick out the keywords in a question and locate the answer region in the passage
  • Separate False from Not Given by a clear rule rather than by instinct
  • Hold 20 minutes per passage and keep that pace to the end of the paper
