Don't rush straight to the questions! First, read the text quickly to get a general understanding. Then read it again more carefully. Many students make the mistake of jumping to conclusions based on a quick scan, but this often leads to misunderstandings. Remember: this is not a speed reading test - take time to understand the text properly.

When answering questions, always underline the relevant part of the text that contains the answer. Don't just choose an answer because it "sounds right" or matches your personal opinion. Every answer must be supported by evidence from the text. If you can't point to the exact place in the text that supports your answer, you might need to reconsider your choice!

Multiple choice reading exercise: The Train From Karachi.
Exercise Number: CAE302
Watch out for incomplete sentence questions! For example:
"The writer believes that social media..."
In these cases, the whole sentence must match the text's meaning, not just the option you choose. Sometimes an option might seem correct in isolation but doesn't work when you read the complete sentence.

Multiple choice reading exercise: Taking The Haul Out Of Long Haul.
Exercise Number: CAE303
Don't fall into the word-matching trap! Just because you see the same words in both the text and the options doesn't mean that's the right answer. The exam often tests your understanding of ideas expressed in different words. Focus on meaning rather than matching identical vocabulary.
