IELTS Reading- True, False, Not Given Tips and Strategy

By Christopher Pell 6 Comments

‘True, False, Not Given’ questions requires you to identify if information in a text is true or not.

You will be given a number of factual statements and you have to check in the text if it they are true or not.

This is probably the most difficult question on the reading paper.

This post will:

• look at example questions
• discuss common problems
• define ‘True’, ‘False’ and ‘Not Given’
• give you tips and advice
• provide you with a strategy to use on exam day

In this article when I refer to ‘statements’ I am talking about the questions, not the text in the main reading article.

Example Question

This sample is taken from ielts.org and more sample reading questions can be viewed here.

As you can see above, you will be given a number of factual statements and asked to look at the text and decide if the statement is true, false or not given.

Common Problems

The biggest problem here is the ‘not given’ option. Most students are not used to answering questions like this and it causes them lots of problems because they are not sure what to look for. They also spend too much time making sure that it is ‘not given’ and this affects the rest of their test.

Students also fail to understand exactly what each statement means and therefore cannot identify if it is true or false. Many focus on keywords instead of understanding what the statement as whole means.

Another common mistake is identifying keywords in the statements and then trying to find words that exactly match them in the text. You can do this, but more often the words will be synonyms.

Finally, some students fail to understand exactly what true, false and not given actually mean and get confused.

Now lets look at solving these common problems.

What do TRUE, FALSE and NOT GIVEN mean? 

The most important thing to remember is what the words ‘true’, ‘false’ and ‘not given’ actually mean and therefore what IELTS wants you to write.

• If the text agrees with or confirms the information in the statement, the answer is TRUE
• If the text contradicts or is the opposite to the information in the statement, the answer is FALSE
• If there is no information or it is impossible to know, the answer is NOT GIVEN

True means that the meaning is the same. It is just similar then is is FALSE. Remember that we are dealing with factual information so there is no room to say it is similar or nearly the same. 

Lots of students have argued with me during practice and said the statement is true because it ‘kind of’ means the same. There is no ‘kind of’ with these questions, only facts.

Very important- Just because an answer is NOT GIVEN does not mean there are no words in the statements that match words in the text. This is something that confuses people, if words match then it must be TRUE orFALSE, right? Not really. This is not a good way to think about these questions because there probably will be matching words for NOT GIVEN answers, they just don’t have enough information to answer the question as a whole.

Top 10 Tips

1. Ignore anything you already know about the topic and don’t make assumptions. Base your answers on the text only.
2. Identify any words that qualify the statement, for example some, all, mainly, often, always and occasionally. These words are there to test if you have read the whole statement because they can change the meaning. For example, ‘Coca-Cola has always made its drinks in the U.S.A.’ has a different meaning from ‘Coca-Cola has mainly made its drinks in the U.S.A.’
3. Be careful when you see verbs that qualify statements, such as suggest, claim, believe and know. For example, ‘The man claimed he was a British citizen,’ and ‘The man is a British citizen’ mean two different things.
4. There will be at least one of all three answers. If you don’t have at least one ‘true’, ‘false’ or ‘not given’ you have at least one answer wrong.
5. Don’t skim and scan the text to find the final answer. You will have to read the appropriate part of the text very carefully in order to understand what the author means.
6. Don’t look for words that exactly match those in the statements. You should also look for synonyms. Remember that you are matching meaning, not words.
7. If you can’t find the information you are looking for, then it is probably ‘not given’. Don’t waste time looking for something that is not there.
8. If you have no idea what the answer is put ‘not given’. You probably have no idea because the answer is not there.
9. Answers are in the same order they appear in the text. Do not waste time going back. Keep on reading.
10. YES/NO/NOT GIVEN questions are slightly different because they deal with opinion. TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN questions deal with facts.

Strategy 

This is my suggested strategy. There are many different strategies and you should use the one you feel comfortable with. You can also adapt this strategy to what suits you.

1. Always read the instructions carefully and make sure you know if it is a TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN or YES/NO/NOT GIVEN question.
2. Read all the statements carefully, trying to understand what the whole sentence means rather than simply highlighting keywords. Watch out for qualifying words such as some or always. 
3. Try to think of what synonyms might be in the text. This will help you identify the matching part of the text.
4. Match the statement with the correct part of the text.
5. Focus on the statement again and then carefully read the matching part of the text to establish if it is true or false. Remember the meaning should exactly match that of the statement if it is true.
6. Underline the words that give you the answer, this will help you focus and you can check back later. Again, be careful there are no qualifying words in the text.
7. If you can’t find the answer, mark it as ‘not given’ and move on to the next question.
8. If you are really unsure or can’t find the answer, mark it as ‘not given’.

Reading Test Tips

Like the listening test, there are no short cuts to a good reading test score - the only route is hard work. However, with the reading test, there are no excuses; you can practice reading where you want and when you want. However, the following tips will help you approach the reading test.   

1. Just having a very basic gist of what a text is about before you start reading will make it easier to understand. Looking at graphs, tables and any illustrations will often give you a good idea of the topic of the text. 

2. Remember - there is no transfer time for the reading test. Make sure you put your answers down on the answer sheet - not the question paper. (See an example of the answer sheet below.)

3. The reading test is designed to be general and designed for people with a variety of educational backgrounds. This means you don't need any specialist knowledge to understand any of the texts. However, some readings may be more familiar than others. 

4. If you are reading and answering texts out of sequence, take special care to ensure you don't write your answers in the wrong places on the answer sheet.  

5. If you are not sure of the answer to a question, it is natural to read text carefully to try to find the answer. If you dwell on a question in this way, you may run out of time. Remember, the reading test is 60 minutes long and there are 40 questions. If you spend one minute of each question that gives you 20 minutes to read a lot of text. If you really can not find the answer to a question easily, move on to the next question. 

6. Although there is no grammar component to the IELTS Test, grammar is important. As with the listening test, you can predict possible answers using the grammar of a question and using the reading text to check which answer is correct. Look at this example. 

There have been at least 500 ........... to correct this problem. 

a) Attempts b) Versions c) Tries d) Table Monolith 

The fact that '500' precedes the missing word might suggest it should be a plural noun or an adjective. There are no adjectives in the answers and only three plural nouns: Attempts, Versions, and Tries. Now you can use the text to check the answer.  
  
7. As with the listening test, do not deduce the answer. This is especially true in True / False Not given questions. The answers are in the text, you do not need to work them out. For example: 

"The introduction of new government policies gave people better lives: they had jobs and more money to spend." 

Now look at the answer: 

The introduction of new government policies had positive long-term benefits on peoples' lives. True / False / Not given 

If people had jobs and more money, surely this is better for them, and so it is natural to consider this a 'true' statement. However, the key here is 'long-term'. From the text, it is impossible to say whether the new jobs lasted 20 years or one day. If you don't make assumptions it is impossible to answer question. As a result the correct answer should be: Not given.  

8. True / False / Not given questions are by far the most difficult types of question to answer as they are designed to trick people into thinking about the answer and giving their deduction as an answer. 

9. Many students are generally very good at reading tests - they are very good at spotting the key words in a question, finding those keywords in a text, reading around the key words and finding the answer to the question. However, as with the listening test, in the IELTS reading test the words in the questions are often not the words you will find in the answer. As a result you have to look for synonyms of key words as well as the actual keywords. Consider a word like 'correct' - among others, possible synonyms include: 

a. Right 
b. Accurate 
c. Exact 
d. Truthful 
e. Spot on 
f. Proper 
g. Acceptable 
h. Accepted 

Depending on the context, only some of these synonyms might apply. You need to be aware of for these words as well as the keywords you are looking for. In addition, consider antonyms - words with the opposite meanings. A sentence like 'It wouldn't be wrong' would mean 'correct' in certain contexts. As you can see, you will need a fairly deep understanding of vocabulary. 

10. If aren't going to finish, guess some of the answers. It is surprising how many students leave multiple choice answers blank because they don't know the answer. If you have the choice of A, B, C or D, you have a 20% chance of getting the question right so just put one of the answers in!

11. If you really don't know the answer to a True / False / Not given question, and you want to guess the answer, DON'T choose "Not given" - it's the least frequent answer. 

12. If a reading text is very specific in topic (e.g. the development of the computer chip), don't think to yourself that you don't know anything about that topic and therefore can't answer the questions - the more specific the topic, the more factual and straightforward it will to allow everyone to have a chance at answering the questions. 

13. Some texts contain an opinion which you have to recognize. Remember that sentences starting with phrases like 'While it can be argued that…' do NOT express the author's opinion, they are more often a statement of someone else's opinion.

14. You might get a text with masses and masses of long, complicated words. Very often these words are key to the meaning of a sentence and therefore key to answering a question. However, equally often these words are unnecessary - they are adjectives or adverbs that provide greater description rather than play a part in meaning. If you start focusing on words you don't understand, you will run out of time. If the some words are too difficult, ignore them. Try this as an exercise - get a copy of an English language newspaper and find an article with lots of words in it you don't understand. Physically cross all the words out and then read the article to see if you can understand it. Chances are you will be able to.

15. If you get a text with a lot of dates, circle them as you go along - chances are the dates are going to be important. If you circle them you can find them again easily.
 
16. Likewise with names; even if there aren't a lot of names, circle the ones you find so you can find them again easily.
 
17. Don't worry about writing on the question paper if you need to. 
 
18. The biggest tip of all: read a lot. Every day read something. The more you read the easier it will be. Study the sentence structure and punctuation of what you read, but most of all, try to grasp the ideas in what you read. Look at a piece of writing and write down some predictions about what the reading will be about. As you read check off these predictions - which ones were right and which ones wrong?
 
19. If you are really running out of time leave all the True / False / Not given and Multiple Choice questions until the end because you don't have to read anything to answer them. 

IELTS Reading: Essential Skills and Strategies

Do you get frustrated when you can’t understand the meaning of a sentence in the IELTS Academic Reading module? In fact, you can still get a high score in IELTS Reading without fully understanding a passage and all the words it contains! Mastering some basic skills and strategies is the key to success in IELTS Reading. Make sure you’re doing these six things.

Looking for a basic introduction to IELTS Reading first? Read IELTS Reading: Introduction.

---

Skimming

Skilled readers quickly ‘get the gist’ (understand the main idea) of a passage by using speed-reading, sometimes called skimming. They glance quickly at titles and headings to identify the general topic. They know where to look for the writer’s main idea: near the end of the introduction and the beginning of the conclusion. When reading body paragraphs, they stop as soon as they understand the main idea. They don’t bother reading supporting sentences such as examples and quotations. If they see a word they don’t recognise, they don’t stop to consider what it means. Instead, their eyes are constantly moving across the text. This is skimming. Use skimming techniques to read more quickly and don’t spend more than five minutes reading any passage in the IELTS test.

---

Understanding organisation

An IELTS Reading skill that goes nicely with skimming is understanding how the passage is organised. How many paragraphs form the introduction? Where is the thesis statement? What is the main function of each paragraph? Which linking words indicate a change of topic or opinion? Effective readers underline key topic words and signal phrases, and sometimes they write brief summarising words (annotation) in the margins. Understanding how a text is organised is a critical reading skill as it helps you locate information more quickly later.

---

Scanning

Scanning is another reading skill that you will often hear associated with IELTS Reading. But how does it work exactly? Effective scanning begins with careful study of the question. What information do you need to find? A person’s name? A year? A cause? An effect? Are there any names or technical vocabulary in the question that will surely appear in the passage? Now scan to find them quickly, without re-reading the text. There are speed-reading techniques that can help with this: for example, looking backwards through the text.

---

Identifying paraphrase

Most IELTS Reading questions paraphrase the original text. Naturally, it helps to have a huge vocabulary; but vocabulary size is not everything. Recognising paraphrase begins with knowing which words are most likely to be paraphrased: conceptual words like find/discover, avoid/prevent, and theory/explanation are typically paraphrased, while more technical naming words such as infectious disease, volcanic eruption, or silicon chip are likely to also feature in the text. Your study of vocabulary should concentrate on the conceptual words, many of which appear in the Academic Word List.

---

Guessing unknown words

I guarantee that there will be vocabulary you have never seen before in the IELTS Academic Reading module. The test writers deliberately place uncommon words in the passage to test if candidates can figure them out using contextual clues. These contextual clues can include a definition, a paraphrase elsewhere in the text, collocating words, or word parts like prefixes and suffixes. High-scoring IELTS candidates have more than just a well-stocked vocabulary; they also have the reading skills required to analyse an unknown word and guess intelligently at its most likely meaning.

---

Time management

By answering 30 out of 40 questions correctly, you can achieve a score of 7.0 in the IELTS Academic Reading module, which is considered good enough to enter most universities in the world. The lesson here is: Don’t spend too much time on the 10 most difficult questions. It’s more important that you allow yourself time to answer the 30 easiest questions and give the remaining 10 your best guess. As a general rule, if you’re still unsure of an answer after one minute, pencil in your best guess, move on to the next question, and come back to it later if there’s time.

ELTS Exam Tips

Listening

• Read the instructions and questions carefully before you listen.
• Try to get an idea of the situation. Who are the speakers? Where are they? Why are they speaking?
• Remember, you will only hear the audio once. You will need to read, write and listen all at the same time.
• Listen for 'signpost words' such as however, although and finally. They help you to anticipate what the speaker will say.

Reading

• Skim through each text to try to get a basic understanding of what it is about. What is the text about? Who was it written for?
• Carefully read the title and any sub-heading.
• What is the main point of each paragraph? Each paragraph contains a single main idea. The questions will focus on these main ideas.
• Remember questions appear in the same order as the answers in the text.

IELTS Tips - Reading

IELTS Tips - Reading

• To know whether you should read the IELTS Reading passage first or the questions first, experiment with both strategies and see what works best for you. Many students have found it helps to skim through the questions first to get an idea of what to pay attention to in the reading passage. This method may work for you too, but in reality, it depends on a number of factors. These include how well or how quickly you read, the type of questions, how difficult they are, how much time you have, and so on. So, never mind what your teacher recommends, or what your best friend is going to do. Try both ways and see what helps you the most.
• Read the IELTS Reading instructions carefully. Don’t try to save time by skipping this part. The instructions give you critical information about how many words the answer should be, what exactly you need to do, and so on. Always read the instructions, even if you have done hundreds of practice tests already!
• In many cases, the questions follow the order of the information in the reading passages. This will help you find the required answers quickly.
• Spelling matters, so take care while writing in the short answers. You will lose points for incorrect spelling. Take special care when copying words from the text.
• Grammar counts too, so make sure you pay attention to this aspect as well.
• In sentence completion tasks, focus on the meaning to select the right answer.
• Do many practice tests to familiarize yourself with the test format, the types of questions, the level of difficulty and more.
• Read widely from a variety of sources to strengthen your general reading skills and enrich your vocabulary.
• Look out for key synonyms used in the text or question, to help you identify where to find the answer quickly.
• Use only the stated number of wordsin your answer or you will lose the mark. Hyphenated words count as one word.

o prepare for IELTS Reading module, read articles in English Newspapers, Magazines, travel brochures, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia etc. You should read English story books too. Try to read a variety of topics-- History, Science, culture, social and natural sciences

To prepare for IELTS Reading module, read articles in English Newspapers, Magazines, travel brochures, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia etc. You should read English story books too. Try to read a variety of topics-- History, Science, culture, social and natural sciences.

Tips 1: Make the habit of reading faster by reading words in groups/chunks rather than word by word. Try to read minimum 2 hours per day.Read whatever interest you but obviously written in english. The three reading passages are on topics of general interest and usually these passages are taken from books, newspapers, journals or magazines. So try to read recent news, Newspapers, Magazines, travel brochures etc. whenever possible.

 

Tips 2: Remember that you are reading for a purpose not for pleasure. While practicing make a habit of looking at the title and headings when you survey the text, as well as ant special print like:  CAPITAL, Bold, italic , "quotation", underlinedwords.Try to understand exactly what the question wants and falways followed the instructions carefully provided with the reading passages.

 

Tips 3:  Practice scanning by applying the scanning techniques whenever you read a passage.

 

Tips 4: There is usually a logical place to begin looking for the answer to a reading question. This requires an understanding of the main idea or topic of each paragraph. You can save yourself a great amount of time if you work out the main idea or topic of each paragraph in the early stages of your assessment of the passage.

 

Tips 5: There are generally 10 types of questions available in the reading section.The types are:

 

1. Multiple Choice
2. Short-answer questions
3. Sentence completion
4. Notes/table/summary flow-chart/diagram completion
5. Yes, no, not given or True, false, not given
6. Classification
7. Matching lists/phrases
8. Choosing headings for paragraphs/sections of a text
9. Scanning and identifying location of information
10.Labeling a diagram

 

1. Multiple choice questions can test both your  global understanding of the text or ask you for specific information. This means you will have to make the decision yourself whether to skim or scan the text.

To prepare for the Multiple choice questions:

• Read the instructions carefully and check how many letters you need to circle.

• Skim all the questions and the answer choices quickly. As you do this :
      » Underline the key words (the words that give you the most information).
      » Try to get an idea of the topic you will be reading about from the vocabulary of the questions.
      » Look at any illustrations or diagrams that go with the text.

• Go back to the first question. Decide if you are looking for specific information or whether the question requires you to understand the whole text . Then either scan or skim the text, as appropriate, to find the answer.

• Read the relevant part of the text very carefully.

• Don’t leave any questions unanswered.

2. Short Answer questions will usually tell you to write your answers in NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS. So you can answer with one word, two words or three words but no more. However, this is not always the case. So you should always check what the questions ask you to do.

To prepare for the Short Answer questions:

• You have to apply both skimming and scanning techniques to be able to answer the questions in time.

• Skim all the questions quickly. As you do this:
    » underline the key words.
    » decide what information you need to find in the text.
    » look out for question words like ‘where’ and ‘who’ which indicate
    » you should find out for specific things like places and people.

• Go back to the first question and decide what part of the text you need to read.

• Read the part carefully to find the answer.

• You may use your own words. You don’t have to write a complete sentence but it does have to be grammatically correct.

• if you don’t know the meaning of any of the words in the questions,find it using a dictionary, write it down at your note book and try to reuse it over and over again.

• the answer could be one word, two words or three words but not four or more.  if you think you need more than three words your answer is probably incorrect.

3. Sentence completion require you to complete the end of a sentence. The questions generally appear in the same order as the information in the text.Type 2 questions are similar to the short answer questions in that they will always tell you to write your answers in NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS. So you can answer with one word, two words or three words but not more. They will also tell you to use words from the reading passage.

To prepare for the sentence completion questions:

• Skim all the questions quickly. As you do this:
    » underline the key words.
    » try to work out what information you need.
    » think about the grammatical form as well as the vocabulary that should follow immediately from the stem.
 

• Go back to the first sentence and decide what information you need to complete it.
• Find the place where the information should be in the text and read it carefully.
• Look out for synonyms and parallel expressions because the questions are not likely to use the same words as those in the text.
• Make sure your sentences make sense both logically and grammatically.
• for type two, the answer could be one word, two words or three words but not four or more.
• if you think you need more than three words your answer is probably incorrect.

4. Notes/table/summary flow-chart/diagram completions ask for specific information. There are two types of these completion questions in the IELTS reading
exam.

Type 1. With a selection of possible answers.
Type 2. Without a choice of possible answers.
These questions require you to:
-- insert a word or phrase in the middle of a sentence
-- insert a word in the middle and another word at the end of a sentence

For Type 1 questions the words or phrases provided will be different from the words in the text. There will be more words than gaps.
Type 2 questions are similar to the short answer questions in that they will tell you to write your answers in NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS. So you can answer with one word, two words or three words but no more.

To prepare for the sentence completion questions:

• Look at the table or form etc carefully:
    » examine any headings or subheadings.
    » try to get an idea of the topic.
    » decide what section of the passage the exercise covers.
    » anticipate grammatical form as well as vocabulary.

• if a box of answers is given, see if you can guess any of the matches & eliminate unlikely answers.
• if the question is in the form of a table, work out which way it is best to read it – horizontally or vertically.
• If the question is in the form of a summary, read through it first and see if you can guess any of the missing words.
• Take each gap one by one and search the text for the best word(s) to fill the gap.
• if there is a box of answers, there will be at least two you don’t need.
• if there is no box, the answer could be one word, two words or three words but not four or more.
• if you think you need more than three words your answer is probably incorrect.
• there may be alternative rubrics for these completion questions e.g. ‘complete the notice’ or ‘complete the explanation’ or ‘complete the news report’.

A few Academic Reading tips

As I promised to one of my most loyal visitors (hi, Dave!), this post is about efficient ways to improve your reading skills.

The Academic Reading module is a little bit different from the General Training – instead of 4 or 5 it has only 3 passages (more difficult ones). Actually, the first passage is usually the easiest and then they become more and more difficult. With that said, here come the tips:

Tip #1 – Don’t read the whole passage. Train yourself to scan and notice only the important information. After you go over the text for the first time, you should know what each paragraph is about, what its main idea is. This way of “reading” saves you a lot of priceless time.

Tip #2 - Watch your time closely. Don’t divide the 60 minutes you have into 3 equal parts of 20 minutes. Why? Because the last passage is the hardest and you are going to need more than 20 minutes to crack it. So I suggest 15 – 20 – 25, but feel free to look for any other timing that works for you.

Tip #3 – Don’t forget to copy your answers to the Answer Sheet. You can write them in the question booklet as you read the passage, but you get your score based on what is written in the Answer Sheet.

Tip #4 – If you can’t find an answer to a certain question – mark it with a big fat ??? so you can easily see it later and move on to the next one, don’t get stuck. Later you can get back, find all the question marks and try answering those questions again if you have time left.

Tip #5 – Count the words in your answer. If the instructions say “answer in 3 words” – you need to answer in EXACTLY 3 WORDS, when even an “a” and a “the” count as a word!

Tip #6 – When you practice, read your passage, answer the questions, compare your answers to the Answer Sheet and pay special attention to the wrong answers. You need to understand WHY you made those mistakes and remember them, so you won’t make them again.

And finally, these few tips came from “Ace The IELTS” e-Book (and of course there are more other tips, techniques and strategies). So those of you who need step-by-step guidance, a clear study plan and want to be ready for IELTS in ONE MONTH – take a closer look at ithere. Think a little about how great it is, buy it, study, get your target score and forget all about IELTS
