IELTS Academic Reading - Matching Information

In this lesson, we will cover the Match Information question type, which will test your ability to understand various details and specific information from the text. This specific information could include:
details
examples
reasons
descriptions
comparisons
summaries
explanations

As you can see, this type of question calls upon your ability to scan for specific information, rather than understanding the general idea of the passage. While you do not need to understand the entire passage, most answers will come in the form of a phrase or sentence, rather than just a single word. Our strategy will reflect this objective.

The amount of questions for this specific task can vary, but keep in mind that sometimes, answers can be used more than once. If this is the case, the directions will specify this detail. In any case, you will be instructed to write the letter of the correct paragraph or section (in which the information is found) on your answer sheet. Also keep in mind that the answers do not come in order.

The steps to tackle Matching Information questions are as follows:
Step 1: Read Information
Step 2: Comprehend and Highlight
Step 3: Scan the Passage
Step 4: Answer questions
