Specifics of Reading Comprehension

Written By Agus on Thursday, March 5, 2009 | 10:10 AM

You will be given 44 or 60 questions in 70 or 90 minutes. This section contains reading passages of varying difficulty and questions about the passages. This section is not computer-adaptive, so you'll be able to go back to previous questions within the section if you want to. It's meant to measure your ability to read and understand short passages similar in topic and style to those that ETS thinks North American college and university students encounter in their courses. After you have read a passage and are ready to answer the questions, both the passage and the questions will appear on the screen together. Some questions require that you interact with the text on the screen. For example: You may be asked to choose (click on) an appropriate word or sentence in the text, or you may be asked to indicate the best place within the text for an additonal sentence. Other questions will be multiple choice where you choose the best of four possible answers. Questions are linear, so you can skip a question or go back to check or change previously answered questions.
