Hi Pelawat,

The Reading test in IELTS can be a major source of stress, but remember, for every problem there is a solution!

Most people feel that there isn't enough time to answer all the questions in Reading. Some question types are harder than others and it's so easy to get stuck on them, spending far too long in search for the answer. This has a flow-on effect on the rest of the questions and Reading texts, hurting your score even more.

But here is the thing... there is another way to do the Reading test, which results in a much higher score. Curious to find out what it is?

This video shows you how to take control of your time in the Reading test, and how to use it efficiently.

It's just three minutes, but it can save you hours - and save your IELTS score!
