Today, I thought that we would look at the similar questions that appear in the reading exam – IELTS Reading Multiple Matching Questions.

In fact, as you will see in today’s lesson, there are actually two different approaches that you should be prepared to use.

IELTS Summary Completion Questions IELTS Summary Completion questions may be my favourite type of question in the IELTS exam. They are quick and often relatively easy to answer and give you the opportunity of grabbing 3 or 4 quick points in a the space of one short paragraph. If you compare that to Multiple Choice or Headings Match questions, which can require you to read and interpret an entire paragraph for just one point, you can see why I like them so much!
