  • The reading section would consist of two ten-mark sections with a mix of MCQs and non-MCQs. Reread the paragraph, paying attention to the significant points.
  • In a case-based passage, accurately interpret the offered pie chart, graph, table, or visual since one-half of the questions will be based on the graphic provided with the reading.
  • Pay attention to terms like DO NOT, IS NOT, and NOT while reading questions since the intended response is the odd one out of the supplied possibilities.
  • Vocabulary terms are frequently tricky. The query might be about word derivation, meaning, synonyms, or antonyms.

Literature Suggestions:

  • Thoroughly read the chapters, play, and poetry, underlining key phrases, incidents, and examples. Please put them in the responses. Use mind maps and flow charts to help you navigate the chapters.
