How to speed Up True/False/Not Given Checks for “Concept of Intelligence” IELTS Passage

Virajita Bisht

Develop a one‐sentence “locator” for each paragraph before answering. For instance:
- A = “Definition history”
- B = “Spearman's g‐factor”
- C = “Gardner's multiple intelligences”
- …and so on.
When a statement mentions “g‐factor, ” you immediately know it's Paragraph B—no aimless scanning.
If you get stuck, move on and return in the last 2 minutes. Fresh eyes often spot the clue faster.

How can I apply the IELTS True/False/Not Given strategy to the “Concept of Intelligence” reading passage?

Rohini Rawat

False statements often hinge on Herrnstein and Murray's “cognitive elite.”
Not Given appears when qualifiers don't match exactly
True means the passage literally states it. For example, “Intelligence can be shaped by environment” is in Paragraph 4.
Never guess “Not Given” because it sounds safe. If you can't locate a clear match or mismatch, lean toward “True” or “False” based on context.

How to Align IELTS Gap‐Fill Answers with “The Concept of Intelligence” Passage?

Ranjeeta Shukla

Don't eyeball it—use the passage. Highlight the exact phrase.
Look for unique words (e.g., “structuralism, ” “cognitive elite”). Those only appear once.
If you spot a synonym instead of the literal word from the answer key, you're wrong.

Do prefixes and suffixes affect the meaning or grammatical structure of a word?

Abhishek Mehra

Yes, prefixes and suffixes significantly change the meaning or grammatical role of a word. For example, the prefix "dis-" in "disagree" reverses the meaning, while the suffix "-ly" in "quickly" turns an adjective into an adverb.

How can I practice using prefixes and suffixes for IELTS?

Aashi Shukla

Practice by creating word families from root words. For example, from the root word "active", you can form "inactive", "activity", and "activation". Additionally, try reading academic texts and identifying prefixes and suffixes in new words.
