Passage 3~14 questions, complex argument, hardest

Strategies

•About 20 minutes per passage; Passage 3 needs the most
•Skim for the main idea of each paragraph before the questions
•Scan for names, dates and numbers to locate answers fast
•Matching Headings: read the paragraph's first and last sentences
•Answers to most question sets follow the order of the text

Common Mistakes

•Mixing up False (contradicts the text) and Not Given (not mentioned)
•Answering from your own knowledge instead of the passage
•Leaving blanks: there is no penalty for guessing
