What you need to know regarding the assessment?

The EdHat English Language Testing System Reading will assess a wide variety of reading skills, and although the question formats are the same, the text styles are different for intermediate and professional training.

SKIM

The candidate can think about the title, headings, and topic sentences of reading passages, as they are the main ideas.

The candidate will not read every word and will pay special attention to typographical cues-headings, boldface and italic type, indenting, bulleted and numbered lists.

The main idea of entire readings, sections, or paragraphs of reading passages should become clear when doing this.

SCAN

Searching and matching similar information & Understanding how ideas are connected.

Scanning, too, uses keywords and organizational cues. But while the goal of skimming is a bird's-eye view of the material, the goal of scanning is to locate and swoop down on particular facts.

CONNECT

This refers to getting the overall idea of a passage.

Making connections is a critical reading comprehension strategy that helps candidates make meaning of what they are reading.

When candidates make connections to the texts that they are reading, it helps them to make sense of what they read, retain the information better, and engage more with the text itself.

TIPS FOR CANDIDATES
