Multiple Matching Tips

What to do

In this part, you match questions or statements to sections of one text or several short texts.

Read the first text carefully and highlight information that corresponds to each question. Sometimes you will find a paraphrase of the information (different words meaning the same thing) rather than the keywords themselves.

Follow the same procedure for each text.

If you get stuck, select any answer. You can only gain marks by writing an answer.

Do this for every part of the exam, whenever you are unsure, write an answer.

Strategy

1. Read the texts quickly to get a general idea of the topic.
2. Read through the questions and underline key words and phrases that may help you.
3. Scan the texts to find parts with a similar meaning to what you have underlined.
4. Remember that the words will not be the same.
