What text types usually appear?

Look for emails, blogs, brochures, adverts, and rule sheets—materials you meet in everyday life. Practising with authentic city or transport websites is excellent preparation.

Any tips for avoiding trick answers?

Underline precisely what the question asks, then check that your chosen option covers every point. If an option is broader or narrower than the text, verify before committing.

How can I improve my reading speed?

Alternate between timed skimming for the gist and scanning for specific details. This balance mirrors what the exam expects.
