1. Diagram label completion
In this question type a diagram is given and you have to label it according to the description contained in the passage. The word limit is cleared in the instructions and you should follow them. The instructions can be ‘NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER from the passage’, ‘ONE WORD ONLY’ or ‘NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS’ and if you write more than the word limits your scores will suffer.
The diagram can be of any machine, or of building or its part. This task type is often used with texts describing processes or with descriptive texts. This task assess your ability to understand a detailed description and to relate the information presented in the form of diagram
2. Yes, No, Not Given
In this type you have to look whether the given statement is accurate, not accurate or its not present in the passage in other words you have to identify a writers view or claim . In this you will be given a number of statements and asked: ‘Do the following statements agree with the views/claims of the writer?’. You will then select ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘Not given’.
Most of the students get confused in No and Not Given so it’s very necessary to understand the difference between them. You should write ‘No’ when the statement given is opposite or different from the information in the text. ‘Not Given’ should be written when the claim is neither confirmed nor contradicted.
This question type assesses your ability to recognize opinions or ideas, and so it is often used with discursive or argumentative texts.
3. True, False, Not Given
In this question type you will be given some statements and asked “Do the following statements agree with the information in the text?”. When you answer the questions, you write “True”, “False” or “Not given” in the answer boxes.
Here to it is important to understand the difference between False and Not Given. False means the information of the statement and the passage are contradictory and ‘Not Given’ means that the information is not present in the passage.
With Best Wishes!
