This is a 1 hour test in 3 sections with 40 questions based on 1 reading text per section (ie: 3 reading texts). The length of the Academic reading test will be between 2000 and 2750 words. Candidates are given a question paper and an answer paper. They may write on the question paper but they may not remove it from the test room after the test. All answers must be put onto the reading answer sheet before the end of the hour - there is no extra time after the 1 hour set for the academic reading test for the transfer of answers to the answer paper.
A variety of question types is used. Questions types that you will see will usually come from the following list:
multiple choice
short answer
sentence completion
notes/summary/diagram/flow chart completion
choosing from a heading bank to identify paragraphs or parts of the text
identification of writers opinions/ideas - yes/no/not given
identification of information in the text - yes/no/not given OR true/false/not given
classification
matching lists or phrases
Texts are taken from magazines, journals, books and newspapers. Texts are for an undergraduate or postgraduate readership but assume NO specialist knowledge of the subject. All reading passage topics will be of general academic interest. At least one text will contain a logical argument. One text may include a diagram, graph or illustration. If there are any words or terms of a specialist technical nature, which candidates would not be expected to know, then a short glossary will be provided.
