What is IELTS - Reading tips and
information
The IELTS Academic Reading
Module has three reading passages that become progressively
more challenging for ESL students. IELTS candidates
are given 60 minutes to answer questions for all three
passages.
The reading passages are
on a variety of subjects and are chosen for their suitability
for people entering university.
The types of skills the
Reading Module assesses include:
- identifying the
gist of a passage
- finding detailed
factual information in a passage
- identifying relationships
between ideas or information items: — cause and
effect — order of events — comparison
- making inferences
distinguishing between fact, assumption or opinion
- understanding text
organisation
- summarising information
