Academic Reading

Start topic practice →

Topic overview

Academic Reading tests both rapid location and precise evidence judgement. First identify the question type, then decide whether to skim, scan or read closely; every answer must be traceable back to textual evidence.

Key concepts

True agrees with the passage; False contradicts the passage; Not Given means the passage is insufficient to decide. Do not treat your own common knowledge as evidence.

Key points

  • ◆Compare the strength of propositions
  • ◆Pay attention to all / some / may
  • ◆Cannot find it does not mean Not Given — first confirm the locating passage

Worked examples

Try each example yourself before checking the explanation.

1Correlation is not causation

The original text only says A and B are correlated; the question says A causes B.
