  • How to read faster: Skimming, Scanning and Speed Reading in the IELTS exam

    22 February 2018

    How to read faster: Skimming, Scanning and Speed Reading in the IELTS exam If there was no time limit in the IELTS Reading exam, would you get more answers correct? ⏰ I imagine so. Because if there is one comment I read again and again its that students struggle to finish the 40 questions in 60 minutes. So, what is the key to reading more quickly? Is it scanning and skimming? Is it increasing your vocabulary? Or is it simply being able to process words more quickly in your brain? Well, that’s what we are going to be discussing in today’s blog.
