Reading Practise

Important

In test week 1 you have a reading test

The test will be about old exam texts

It is great practise for you exams next year

It will give you a clear indication how much more practise you need for the real exam next year

I think English reading tests are..

1. Easy
2. Difficult
3. Doable
4. Other..

How do you practise reading?

What is the first thing you should do when approaching a reading test

1. Read the text
2. Read the questions
3. Look at the pictures/other noticable aspects
4. Read the title

Step by Step: MC questions

1. Read the title

2. Look at the pictures + other aspects that stand out

3. Read the (first) question (not the answers!)

4. Read the part of the text that goes with the question

5. Think of the answer and see if it's one of the options

5. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 until all the questions are answered

6. New text: start at step 1

How do you answer open questions (for exam texts)?

1. In Dutch
2. In English

Tips

• Look up vocabulary that you do not understand (only if it stops you from understanding the bigger picture). Context can usually help you.
  You can use a dictionary for the real test.
• Make sure you can point at the answer in the text, this should make you more confident that it's correct. 
• Do exactly what they ask. For example, when they ask you to quote (citeer), do not do it the Dutch way. Do what they want.
