IELTS Reading Speed + Accuracy (Sylhet Students)

ReadingÐ26-02-09">2026-02-09

Reading feels hard when you read every word. IELTS Reading rewards strategy: skim first, scan for answers, and manage time per passage.

Simple timing rule

  • Passage 1: 15–17 minutes
  • Passage 2: 18–20 minutes
  • Passage 3: 23–25 minutes

Skim → then scan

  • Skim: read headings + first/last sentence of paragraphs
  • Scan: search for keywords, names, dates, numbers
  • Underline synonyms (IELTS uses paraphrasing)

Weekly routine

  1. 3 days: one passage timed + review mistakes
  2. 2 days: focus on one question type (T/F/NG, matching, headings)
  3. 1 day: full reading test
  4. 1 day: vocabulary from your error log

If you are stuck at the same score, your issue is usually timing + question technique, not intelligence.
