Reading Practise

Important

In test week 1 you have a reading test

The test will be about old exam texts

It is great practise for you exams next year

It will give you a clear indication how much more practise you need for the real exam next year

I think English reading tests are..

1. Easy
2. Difficult
3. Doable
4. Other..

How do you practise reading?

Step by Step

1. Read the title

2. Look at the pictures + other aspects that stand out

3. Read the (first) question

4. Read the part of the text that goes with the question

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the questions are answered

6. New text: start at step 1

How do you answer open questions (for exam texts)?

1. In Dutch
2. In English

Tips

• Look up vocabulary that you do not understand (only if it stops you from understanding the bigger picture). Context can usually help you.
  You can use a dictionary for the real test.
• Make sure you can point at the answer in the text, this should make you more confident that it's correct. 
• Do exactly what they ask. For example, when they ask you to quote (citeer), do not do it the Dutch way. Do what they want.
