# IELTS Reading Tip How to do completion questions • Read the instructions carefully. • Look at the table or form etc carefully: • examine any headings or subheadings. • try to get an idea of the topic. • decide what section of the passage the exercise covers. • anticipate grammatical form as well as vocabulary. • if a box of answers is given, see if you can guess any of the matches & eliminate unlikely answers. • if the question is in the form of a table, work out which way it is • best to read it – horizontally or vertically. • If the question is in the form of a summary, read through it first and see if you can guess any of the missing words. • Take each gap one by one and search the text for the best word(s) to fill the gap. Remember • if there is a box of answers, there will be at least two you don’t need. • if there is no box, the answer could be one word, two words or three words but not four or more. • if you think you need more than three words your answer is probably incorrect. • there may be alternative rubrics for these completion questions e.g. ‘complete the notice’ or ‘complete the explanation’ or ‘complete the news report’.
