1) There will be at least one answer for each text, so check again if you have one text with no answers in it.
2) Read the questions first so you know what you're looking for, and then scan the texts for information.
3) Underline your answers in the text.
4) Remind students that pacing is important. They should still have time at the end of the test to check through their answers in all of the Reading and Use of English sections. Tediously reading through part 7 can be detrimental if the test time is running out. Focus on scanning techniques for this part.
