Learn one thing, then check it

Move on with a clear return point

Staying too long on one item

Last reviewed:

Band 5–7 · About 10 minutes

The band range helps you choose a practice focus. It is not a level assessment. Use paper or speak aloud; nothing is saved here.

01

Diagnose

Answer on paper or aloud before opening the check.

You have reread one sentence three times without new evidence. What should you leave before moving on?

Compare my starting answer

Leave a return mark and the fact you still need.

02

Understand

Rereading without a question can consume your practice time. A return mark protects the unfinished item. It also makes the next search more precise.

03

Solve

  1. Set a three-minute practice timer.
  2. Locate easy details before resolving uncertain items.
  3. Mark an uncertain item and the missing evidence.
  4. Return once and check your evidence.

04

Practice

Use three minutes for this small drill; this is not a full-test pacing rule. The repair café opens on Saturday mornings. Tool donations go to the blue cabinet. Electrical items need a safety check before repair. Visitors book a slot by telephone. The notice gives no average repair duration.

  1. When does the café open?
  2. Where do donated tools go?
  3. What is the average repair duration?
Check my answers
  1. Saturday mornings — The opening period appears in the opening sentence.
  2. The blue cabinet — The donation location is named directly.
  3. Not stated — The notice gives no average duration; extra rereading cannot supply it.

05

Verify

Compare completed items, return marks and evidence. Do not convert speed into a band. Tomorrow, repeat with a different short notice.

Practice material, not an IELTS score. No band prediction.
