The IELTS Reading Test consists of three passages or texts, with a total of 40 questions to be answered. The passages are taken from various sources such as magazines, newspapers, books, and academic journals.
The passages can vary in length and complexity, with the first passage being the easiest and the third passage being the most difficult. Each passage is followed by a set of questions, which can be in a variety of formats including multiple choice, matching, sentence completion, and true/false/not given.
The questions in the IELTS Reading Test are designed to test a range of skills, including the ability to identify specific information, understand main ideas and supporting details, recognize writer’s opinions and attitudes, and follow the development of an argument.
The IELTS Reading Test is designed to assess a candidate’s ability to understand and interpret a variety of written materials in English. It is important to note that the test is not designed to test a candidate’s prior knowledge of the subject matter, but rather their ability to comprehend the information presented in the passages.
