Chapter 1 in full: Academic reading
44% of the exam, about 53 questions. These are its key points, as in the guide.
- Summarize each paragraph briefly and relate it to the passage’s overall question.
- For an inference, choose what the statements support; outside knowledge does not replace textual evidence.
- Example: The plants grew faster in brighter light, but water was constant. This supports a light-related difference in this experiment, not a universal rule for every plant.
The rest of chapter 1, on this page
- Distinguish examples, explanations and objections. However often introduces a turn; therefore introduces a consequence of preceding information.
- The main idea covers the whole text, and a good title summarises it without a narrow detail.
- Transitions reveal relations: however and but for contrast, therefore and as a result for effect, for example for illustration.
- Rhetorical purpose questions ask why the author mentioned a detail; find the idea it supports.
- Inference questions need a short logical step from the sentences, not a leap.
- For NOT or EXCEPT questions, check each option against the text until you find the one not mentioned.
- Sentence insertion: choose the spot where the sentence connects logically and by reference with what is before and after.
- A good summary includes the main ideas and excludes minor details.
- Vocabulary questions are solved by testing the meaning in the sentence and checking word class.
- Safe evidence uses specific markers such as because and according to.
- Hedging words such as may, suggest and some limit how strong the claim is.
- In scientific texts, notice the difference between correlation and causation.
- Academic paragraphs often move from topic sentence to detail to conclusion.
Common mistakes in this chapter
- Turning a limited finding into an absolute rule.
- An inference that goes beyond the text even if true in reality.
- Choosing an option that uses words from the text but changes the relation between ideas.
- Confusing the author's view with a view the author reports.
- Treating a single example as the main idea.
