✍🏻 IELTS General Reading: True, False, Not Given Questions

True, False, Not Given questions are a crucial and often challenging part of the IELTS General Reading test. In this question type, you are presented with a series of statements and a reading passage. Your primary task is to determine whether each statement is factually true according to the information in the text, false (meaning the text directly contradicts the statement), or "not given" (meaning the information is neither confirmed nor contradicted in the passage). The key to success lies in careful reading and distinguishing precisely between what is explicitly stated, what is directly contradicted, and what is simply not mentioned. Many students struggle with "Not Given" because they try to infer information or assume based on general knowledge, which is a common pitfall. Remember to base your answers solely on the text provided, without bringing in any outside information. Practice identifying keywords, understanding paraphrasing, and recognizing synonyms to accurately match statements with the passage's content. Mastering this question type will significantly improve your overall IELTS Reading score and boost your confidence on test day.
