Reading

To be honest, It is heavy.

Students will be reading bare acts, case law, commentaries, and journal articles all the time. Sometimes there will be three cases to brief before one class.

However, on the bright side the professors here at IILM University, Gurugram know that the students are still learning, so they break down the reading load by giving summaries and key extracts. 

Over time, students actually get better at scanning through judgments and picking out the ratio. It's like training the brain to think in legal language.

Guessing the answers on the ACT exam is not encouraged or recommended by the testing authorities as this is not an effective approach. However, you can make educated guesses if required; here's how:

1. Read your question thoroughly and skim through the passage.
2. Eliminate the wrong answer choices first based on your quick analysis of the paragraph and question. 
3. Prioritise answering the line-based questions first as they provide opportunities to be direct on your answering approach without taking much of your time.
4. Choose the answer that is most supported by the passage. 

The following question types are asked on the IELTS reading exam: Matching information, Matching headings, Matching features, Matching sentences, Multiple-choice questions, Identifying the author's view, Diagram-label completion, Flow-chart completion, and Short answer questions.

IELTS Reading section consists of 40 questions in all. A total of 60 minutes have been allotted to complete the IELTS Reading section. As the test moves, the difficulty level of the passages increases. It is advised that the students do not waste their time in the initial passages, as they might need some extra time for tougher ones.

As an extra IELTS reading tip, it is highly advised that the students stay focused and do not get swayed away by their thoughts. Many students tend to lose a track of their reading passage and then they have to start again. Do not commit this mistake of wasting time during the test.

The IELTS Reading section comprises of 3-4 IELTS comprehension passages wherein the difficulty level increases with every subsequent passage. It is important for the candidates not to spend too much time on the initial passages. Try to get in the zone early on. 

However, this does not mean that they can rush through the questions. Strike a good balance between all the passages. This can only come through practice. In every article, we have stressed the importance of mock tests. Make sure that you appear for at least 5 full-length IELTS mock tests (if you have sufficient time) before the day of your exam.
