In the International English Language Test {IELTS} the section on academic reading is always keeping my overall result low. what make that comprehension section of IELTS tougher than many other type of English examination is it wasn't all multiple-choice{mcq} format and
3 huge passages with 2700 words each!!! In only one hour the question can be paragraph detecting, transfer info into diagrams and completing summary. It's very tough because of the time limit. I tried PR but can only score 5.5 at the firs time and recently 6.0. i need at least 7.5 in this section so would be easier for me to gett at least an average overall band of 7.0 to study dentistry in India.
Is there any advice on answering comprehension in IELTS using PR skills? PR only work best in the mcq section but little help in other sections like "true, false,not given", "matching idea/topic with paragraph".
I PR many guide book and all books stated that we skim and scan the passage first. I did. Some said underline trigger words of questions and look for related part in the passage. It's like postview and superead and dipping in PR. HOWEVER, when i bring the "trigger words" to superead and dip in the passage, i found myself totally lost and dun know what to do, where exactly the answer is. Plus, i'm always worry if i will run out of time. FEAR+nervous+frustration=lower band !!! I really hope PR will help me here.
My other friend score higher band than me in the comprehension technique. He answered faster than me, went out for sometime(to the lavatory) and come back, answer the rest questions, and...sleep!! I strained myself to answer the questions....but to no avail!!
