Information & Ideas
Central ideas, supporting detail, inference, and reading evidence from a short text or a data description. The answer must be supported by the passage rather than merely consistent with it.
448 questions. Practice questions across the four Reading and Writing skill areas, each with a worked explanation that says why the other three choices fail. Work one area at a time and reveal the answer only after a real attempt.
Work one at a time. Every question on these pages carries a worked explanation, and marking one wrong adds its skill to the Weak Skills replay in the practice games.
Central ideas, supporting detail, inference, and reading evidence from a short text or a data description. The answer must be supported by the passage rather than merely consistent with it.
Word meaning in context, the purpose a sentence or paragraph serves, and how two texts relate. Read the sentence around the blank before looking at any choice.
Transitions, organisation, and using given notes to meet a stated goal. These questions name the goal explicitly, so the choice that best meets that goal wins even when another reads more smoothly.
Sentence boundaries, punctuation, agreement, verb tense, modifiers, and possessives. Find the subject and the main verb first; most errors here are visible the moment those two are identified.
