Reading Practise

What is your strategy when taken a reading test (exam)?
Write it down step by step

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

5. 

6. 

Example stages: read the text, read the questions, read the answers, look at the pictures, read the title, use a dictionary, eliminate the incorrect answers, etc. 

Step by Step: MC questions

1. Read the title

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

3. Read the (first) question (not the answers!)

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

5. Think of the answer and see if it's one of the options

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

6. New text: start at step 1

How do you answer open questions?

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.
