Reading

Learn synonyms and context clues for vocab. For inference, focus on implied ideas only. Practice official ETS samples daily. Eliminate wrong choices fast. Review mistakes carefully.

Spend 18–20 minutes per passage. Do full sections timed. Use ETS free tests. Check mistakes after. Replay hard parts. Regular practice improves speed and score quickly.

Look at context around the word or sentence. Inference means what the text suggests, not your own ideas. Eliminate wrong choices. Practice inference questions a lot. They appear often.

Skim the passage for the main idea first. Underline keywords in questions. Scan for synonyms. Practice daily with official samples. You save time and finish easily.

Give yourself 60 minutes total for three passages. Spend about 20 minutes per passage. Start with the easiest one if you want. Transfer answers directly to the answer sheet as you go. No extra time at the end. Practice full reading tests under timed conditions.

Skim the passage first for the main idea. Do not read every word slowly. Spend 2-3 minutes skimming. Then read questions and underline keywords like names, dates, or numbers. Scan the text for those words or synonyms.

There are four papers in CA Foundation exam. According to exam pattern, Paper 1 & 2 have subjective type questions, and Paper 3 & 4 have objective type questions. ICAI will only give 15 minutes advance reading time for Paper 1 and Paper 2.

Improving your PTE Reading from a baseline to an 80+ level in just 7 days requires a "hacking" approach rather than deep linguistic study. Since PTE is an integrated test, you must focus on the tasks that carry the most points.

The Fill in the Blanks are the most important tasks in the entire PTE Reading section. So make sure to learn a few tricks to answer them correctly - such as - 

• If the blank is after "has/have/had," look for a V3 verb.
• If it's between "a" and a "noun," it's likely an adjective.

To score 80 or higher in the PTE Reading section for the 2026 intake, you must master the integrated scoring system, as your Reading score is heavily influenced by tasks in the Speaking and Writing modules. 

Use techniques like Skimming and Scanning. Don't read every word first. Skim the first and last sentences of paragraphs to grasp the main idea. Always narrow down your choices by ruling out obviously incorrect distractors first.
