Unlock Ielts
By Richa Raj > December 08, 2020
The reading section accounts for one of the most challenging section in IELTS. It demands you to be on your toes with grammar, punctuation, reading, and writing skills.
True/ False questions are something that makes students fear-stricken.
“Why can’t I find anything related to the question in the text?”
“Have I missed out on reading that point?”
“How will I know whether my answer is right or wrong?”
These are some of the common questions that students struggle to find answers while attempting the True/False questions in the reading section.
If you relate to any of these questions, then this article is for you.
Through this article, we will explore the difference between the true/false/ Not given questions, how you can simplify the question, and what strategies you can apply to answer the question right.
IELTS has well-structured criteria for the reading section assessment. Therefore, keeping the tab over the regular practice sessions along with a proper understanding of the concepts is imperative for scoring well.
Before discussing the tips and the strategies, let’s first know the difference!
Difference Between True/False/ Not given Questions
True /False/Not Given questions are the questions which require the candidate to identify the information in the text as true/ false or not given. You will be provided with a set of information based on which you need to answer the question in true/ false or not given. It is probably the most difficult task to solve with the limited time given to answer it.
