Paper 1 has different kind of questions, and here we explain you about the most common:

Advices:
- Find in the readings the keywords of the questions.
- Identify clear inference from concepts (for example, “The text says that 60% of people think x. What does this mean with regards to the remaining 40%?”)

Advices:
- Find the line in the text and read it very well

- Generally to whom or to what refer the words or phrases are before it. Maybe you will need to re-read the paragraph in which is the line

Advices:
- You need to read all the text for being sure about the answer. Leave this type of question to the end.
- Find in the text the keywords or words related in meaning and check if the sense is the same in the text with the statement. Reduce the options.

Advices:

- Reduce the options. Match the words that you are sure about their meanings. Reject the ones that are not related

- Deduce the meaning of the words in the left column, using the context (the way in which is used in the reference line)

Advices:
- Reduce options
- Grammatical deduction: Infer what type of word should be in the gap (a verb, an adjective, a noun)
- If it should be a verb, then deduce with the context what should be the verb tense
- Logical deduction: choose the word that gives sense to the sentence.

Advices:
- Read the paragraph one by one and try to select the correct from the options
- The heading summarizes the whole paragraph or summarizes the principal idea of the paragraph.

- Use your logical sense to reduce options

Advices:
- Read and find the sentence (could be redacted in different words) or keywords in the text and check if the sense in the reading is the same with the question.
- Select from the text the line or sentence that has the phrase that demonstrates whether the statement is true or false. Usually the quotation is not too long to exceed the box spaces or the lines.



Those were some of our advices, we hope you like it. And remember something "WE PUT OUR LIMITS" and "THE PRACTICE MAKES A MASTER".
