What are the best ways to avoid losing marks in IELTS matching or True/False/Not Given questions?

Raushan Kumar

Read instructions carefully. For True/False/Not Given, check exact meaning. If the passage says the same thing, it is True. If opposite, False. If no information or different idea, Not Given. Do not use your own knowledge. For matching headings or features, read the whole paragraph before choosing.

Skim the passage first for the main idea. Do not read every word slowly. Spend 2-3 minutes skimming. Then read questions and underline keywords like names, dates, or numbers. Scan the text for those words or synonyms.
