Academic Reading
Time: One hour
N.B. This includes the time needed to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. There is no extra time for this.
The Reading paper consists of three different texts and a total of 40 questions.
The texts are authentic and academic in nature, but written for a non-specialist audience. They are similar to the types of texts you may be expected to read as part of an undergraduate course. The style may be descriptive or argumentative and at least one text contains detailed logical argument. Texts may contain illustrations. If a text contains technical terms, a simple glossary is provided. The three texts are graded from easiest to most difficult. Each text will have 12-14 items.
