Strategy for True/False/Not Given task 

 

To simplify it for you, if the statement 

clearly

 appears in text - it is True. If the text 

clearly says the 

opposite

 of statement – it is False, if you didn't find statement to be 

either TRUE or FALSE – it is Not Given. 

The best advice here is not to over think it. Otherwise what happen is that you start 

building logical sequences that take you to the wrong direction. 

 

Strategy for Multiple-choice task 

 

Here too True/False/Not Given technique is a big help. The difference is that you 

need to use it on each answer choice. For every possible answer you need to decide, if 

it is True, False or Not Given in the text. Finally, answers you have marked as False 

or Not Given are incorrect, and the ones you marked as True are correct.  

Remember: it is True only when passage says exactly the 

same

 thing, it is False when 

passage says exactly the 

opposite

 and it is Not Given in any other case. 

Keep in mind that there are cases when all the choices are correct or none of them is 

correct. Read the instruction carefully and you will know what to do in such cases.
