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.
